Oooh... pics!

Will do on another thread this week.

As to the OP, I carry an M&P or a 1911 depending on the situation and my mood. I like the M&P a lot. Despite the money invested in trigger jobs on them, they do not compare to the feel of the 1911 - with no mods.

straight back instead of hinge type trigger. most are adjustable so it can be really customized for the user in regards to over travel.

What's so good about a 1911 trigger? Easy. The gun it's attached to.

Really smooth trigger. They don't call the 1911 the "Gunfighters" pistol for no reason. The gun is simple and realiable.

I agree with you. I find it interesting when I was at a training class the instructors were very ANTI 1911. Mostly due to people not properly training and forgetting to switch off the safety. However, some of it was due to their claims of higher failure rates in classes. (failure to feed, etc).

I think learning to take the slack out on say, my M&P is more of a training issue than switching off the safety.

When I brought up the trigger on the 1911 vs anything else, they had to agree.

You don't pull the trigger on a 1911, you just will it to break...
