Enough joking. Time to be serious. 1911s truly are heavy in comparison to Glock and SIG pistols. There's a reason why special gun belts exist for those who carry 1911s on a daily basis.

For people who normally shoot Glocks and other toy handguns, shooting a 45 ACP for the first time may result with this.

That portion of the state is now unpopulated and Governor Abbott has a task force working on how the land might be reclaimed and made liveable again.

I've been to that site once. I recovered a single .45 ACP slug and used it to cast some 9mm rounds during this shortage. So far, I've cast 1683 9mm bullets from that single 45 ACP slug. I'm about a third way through that slug so far.

I call shenanigans. That frame is too small for a 45 ACP.

That is the active self protection guy. This video is from his "extra" channel.

That explains why videos from the Active Self Protection channel started popping up in my Youtube feed.

He's right about many things, though. You have to give him credit for the following:

Kimber did ramp up production in the mid 2000s
Ruger and Springfield do make 1911s
Les Baer and Wilson do make custom firearms for a lot of money
1911s are chambered in .45 ACP
1911s have been around for a while
The guns he showcased do indeed have price tags on them
Did I miss anything?
