	Screw Colt.		Screw Colt.

			No matter what, ar-15 or 1911, fans will say "because its the original its better." Funny, colt lost the m16 contract, because other not the original companies made better products. And it looks like they will lose the m4 contract when the times up. And there a company that refuses to innovate, bringing back discontinued models as a "special edition." Isn't innovating, and seriously colt, DAO 1911s? In what world would that ever be a good Idea? I hope you lose money on that. Colt fanboys are the worse. Any flaw theres an excuse.
			you say:

			"slide to frame fit is sloppy." they say "tight 1911s are unreliable, colt did this cause its a combat handgun." Really? Ive seen bank-vault tight les baers eat up lead cast reloads time after time."

			"trigger is heavier than competing models." They say "its a combat trigger, not a precision trigger." I say its an excuse for poor tuning.

			They say "we have the least mim parts" First i've never seen MIM break before, and it seems they break the same as orged or cast parts. And as to the colt 1991, well, Your frigging trigger is made of plastic.

			As to features, colt only recently made a railed 1911, way behind the curve. Second, they have no checkering on frontstraps. Shooters say "it raises price." Colt already costs a lot, a special combat government is 1500, a 1500 dollar springer TRP kicks its ass. Also, fanboys say "you dont need night sights, originals didnt have it." First night sights are an excellent option. Second, even if you dont need them, I wouldn't want to be charged like It has them.

			So colt charges to much doesn't innovate, and rides on name alone.

			Colt rant over.

	===Beretta 92 series===		===Beretta 92 series===

	The Beretta 92 is an overrated pistol unfairly hyped due to military use and media exposure. Sure, its used by the military. Only becuase the U.S. wanted a base in Italy so gave the contract to an Italian company, and it was cheaper than SIG, which also passed the military trials. A lot of people have a "if the military uses it it must be good" mentality and like to say "im cool i have what the military has." Then you add in that its easy to convert to blanks so appears in every movie, people see it a lot and think its cool. In reality, Police departments that had issued it are now turning them in. The gun is very flawed. First, it is way to big and heavy for the caliber, the thing feels chunky, is massive, and even in .40 cal (beretta 96) when you want more weight, it only holds 11 rounds in the magazine. The grip, you need size XXL mitts to use. Its thick, and not very confortable unless your weating gloves. My finger cannot reach the front of the trigger guard, which is where i like to drop it, and there is a unconfortable pressure point on my thumb when shooting it. The safety is in a stupid place too, on the slide. I do not put safeties on on a DA/SA, no need. The gun will only go off if the trigger is pulled. But on the slide, when racking it, you may inadvertently turn the safety on. This is dangerous. So the fact that this pistol is as ergonomic as a brick, and overrated to the max, makes me just hate the damn thing.

Also, beretta has a rep for awful customer service and their 1 year plus one year (max of 2) warranty bites hard.

	A very good and underrated pistol. Again, all metal, good ergonomics, and a DA/SA trigger that on some models allows cocked and locked carry, if thats what you prefer. The stock sights are nice 3 dot and night sights availible and plentiful. Its also very accurate. ~~The only problems I see are A~~. ~~Magazine disconnect, but can easily be removed. B. No checkering on frontstrap, I dont like smooth frontstraps. Grip tape,~~ a ~~wraparound grip can solve this, but its expensive to get it machined like it should be in the first place~~. ~~So, even with a couple flaws it is a great package~~.

	~~Absolutely the best. Hands down.~~ Allows the pistol to be carried, hammer down, ready to shoot, no safety or anything. Always ready to rock, and safe. The DA pull would only be used on the draw, quick, close up and personal. After the initial hard pull, the trigger is in single action, my favorite. And if you have time to get ready to shoot, like you hear a bad guy breaking down your door or need to make a long range shot, you can thumb cock the hammer and make that precise shot right off. It offers safety and shootability, the best. ~~Hands down~~.		Allows the pistol to be carried, hammer down, ready to shoot, no safety or anything. Always ready to rock, and safe.

			===Selective Double Action===

			It is hands down the best. Allows whatever is best for multiple users, some guns like the Fnp usg and the CZ75 have this. Condition one for competition or if thats your preffered carry/combat style, DASA for other folks, either way, it gives you options, and I like options.

Squared vs. rounded trigger guard

Line 74:		Line 74:

	Some gunwriters decided it was cool to start hating squared guards, some saying its unnecessary and looks ugly, some claiming it will get caught on clothes during a draw, all kinds of crap. I prefer squared, neither type is a dealbreaker, but i like squared as a preference. First, i like to put my finger on the front of the trigger guard to keep it off the trigger, feels more secure and natural than along the frame. Second, it looks more flush when mounting a light on a rail, and not jacked up like a curved guard.

			Recently started shooting with support finger on trigger guard and shoot better, really loving squared guards.

	==Magazine Disconnect safety==		==Magazine Disconnect safety==

	Unnecessary. First, for some reason every gun with this has a heavier trigger pull than the same model without. Pretty much everybody who can removes it. Second, sometimes the round in the chamber is all you got. Id hate for a gun to not go bang in a fight if the magazine was loose due to a bent feed lip or inadvertently hitting the release. It should not be on any gun.		Unnecessary. First, for some reason every gun with this has a heavier trigger pull than the same model without. Pretty much everybody who can removes it.

	Simply awesome, combine the best features of a handgun (most models.)These are duty guns, made to defend yourself. Availible in all major calibers, ranging in size from concealed carry to duty sized. They are solid feeling, made of metal. Confortable grip angle, break down nice and easy, have a nice DA/SA trigger, are accurate, almost 100% reliable and durable as hell, plus SIG has good customer service. Stock night sights is a great feature. In a sense, DA/SA sigs just fit me.		Simply awesome, combine the best features of a handgun (most models.)These are duty guns, made to defend yourself.
