My only point was...for a "non-shooter" or first time hand gun owner a 1911 is a bit complex, compared to some modern designs.  Simpler gun to many (not all) owners will mean a cleaner weapon that is more likely to be reassembled correctly and functioning properly when needed.

They are great guns...been around 100 years for a reason. I own one and really like it.  It's not a "duty" gun for most applications but it certainly fits the self-defense bill for me.

Nothing better for shooting communists than a 1911.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I shoot a .40 sig sauer p229.  The "safety" mechanism on it allows for a loaded chamber and decocked hammer with virtually no chance of accidental discharge.  I dont carry it, however, because its heavy and snaggy.

yes, they do and they are awesome.

Google AR100 or K2 for the most perfect adaptation of the AR and AK rifles.  Their pistols are unique, have a tri-action hammer -- cock it, then push the hammer down.  Pull the trigger and the hammer springs back and then again to fire.

They also make the Gilbert auto shotgun, the USAS12

The K2:

I'll agree with that, they're called the "expert's gun" for a reason.  [thumbsup]
I wouldn't recommend one to someone for their first pistol either.

article about Daewoo pistol

http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg47-e.htm

QuoteDaewoo K5 / DP51 pistol is short recoil operated, locked breech weapon. It uses a conventional Browning-type locking system, with two lugs on the barrel engaging cuts inside the slide. Locking and unlocking is controlled by the cam-shaped lug at the bottom of the barrel. Frame of the pistol is made from aluminium alloy; all other parts are made from steel. Trigger is of “triple action” type. This means that other than traditional double or single action fire modes it has “fast action” mode, apparently borrowed from FN's GP “Fast Action” pistol. In this mode hammer is cocked by the cycle of the slide, then it is pushed forward by the pressure on the hammer head. In this position, the main spring remains cocked, so only light pressure on the trigger is necessary to recock the hammer and fire the gun in the “double action manner”. Or, alternatively, hammer can be recocked manually to be fired in single action for maximum first-shot accuracy. Sights are fixed, with the rear sight dovetailed to the slide. Magazines are of double stack type; proprietary magazines holt 13 rounds, but DP-51 also can use Smith-Wesson 5906 magazines, which will slightly protrude from the bottom of the grip.

You obviously haven't been around the SIG 556 yet then?

yes, actually, I have.  fielded a StGw90 at a range in Breisgau, it was a nice gun to say the least.

however, the 550's bolt vs the K2 is like night and day.  you can field strip the K2 in about 20 seconds, the 550 takes much longer.

moreover, the K2 came out about 8 years before the 550 and I don't feel SIG has made that many improvements over the K2's system.
