I guess I've never asked it so directly, but why would anyone such as concealed carry holder or a home defense user care to use a 1911? It seems like the newer style double action Glock-style guns would be a better choice because it's designed to be carried without worrying about whether it's cocked and locked.
I still see this newer style auto and the revolver as being the better choice for the personal defense user.
The 1911 seems like it would be fine for non-concealed carry holstered use. But seems too complicated for personal defense.
Remember, I don't care about "special ops" or other specialized cops or soldiers. I am only asking about applicability to concealed carry and home defense users.
My gun of choice would be a revolver for these applications. That is because of simplicity and safety of the design. And it would be 38 special with a modern defense bullet.
