Re: Who decided a 1911 is a "fighting pistol"?Other guns are

Well, as much as I make fun of Marines, I do respect the USMC. And they have just formally announced that their new special operations pistol will be the M45 Close Quarters Battle Pistol. And the pistol is a Colt 1911 with a rail for a light and a lanyard loop.

So, I guess I would say the Marine Corps says it is a fighting pistol. They did not say the same about the Glock or M9.
