Is it safe to say the 1911 is a meme gun at this point?

>>32429661
You don't know what a meme is.
deagle brand deagle is a meme.
is that a FAMAS is a meme.
moist nugget is a meme.
Colt 1911 is not a meme.

the 1911 is really nice to shoot and has the best trigger on any handgun. OP is literally mentally challenged.

1911 is not a meme is not a meme either

is calling everything that is not a meme a meme a meme now?

>>32429839
Not calling everything that isn't a meme that isn't a meme and -is not a meme is not a meme- is not a meme, doesn't classify as a meme.

Nutella is a meme though. And so is stolen valor. Even bait is a meme.

Define "meme gun". The 1911 is fine. It's simple, reliable, accurate enough, and time tested.

typical 1911

as a no guns commie fgt who is gonna get his hsc in cuckfornia in a couple weeks, could i derail this thread to ask for advice on a handgun to buy? I'm thinking 9mm or .40, and want to keep it under $800. Any advice?

>>32429661
>similar capacity to a revolver
>requires constant fiddly armorer-level maintenance to keep running at a bet-your-life-on-it level
>all replacement parts have to be meticulously hand-fitted to the specific gun because it was designed before mass production
>weighs, empty, as much as a loaded Glock 19 w/ Surefire X300U
Definitely a meme gun.

I named my cock meme. It's a total meme. I drew a meme in paint and mailed it to meme-tec. Tomorrow I'm going to hang out with the family and we're going to meme opening meme gifts from meme other around the meme tree. It's going to great. Everything is a meme.

You aren't operating hard enough. The machine spirit can tell that your life doesn't depend on the gun's proper functioning and therefore has no motivation to fuck you over.

This. Doesn't matter if it's a Taurus or a Mk23, at the moment you really fucking need it to work, it'll refuse just to spite you.
Doesn't even need to be a gun. Good ol' Murphy can be counted on in just about anything.

Was a fine battle weapon in its time, still accurate and fun to shoot. But technology has replaced it in capabilities as far as wartime use.

Protip: There are multiple barrels and magazines for different bullet conversions already in use of most 1911 models and brand names. A Glock 17, will always be a Glock 17 all the way to the serial identity

>>32432749
>It is at most two of those things.

It's the first single action handgun that uses the slide as the bolt to do three things at once once fired.
Most 1911 owners are first choice fags that don't know how to clean and only buy USGI quality or lower piano wire compressed 8 round standards. They are the same people that would chose the 1911 handgun as first choice before handling any firearm beforehand.
There was no other handgun during WW1 that wound match the power and capacity of a .45acp with the simple and ruggedness to cost less than a C96.

Yes
absolutely

Why?
The fact that you can buy a USP or an FNX (which are objectively better with more features) for the same or a very similar price, proves its a meme gun

Prices between the 1911, USP and the FNX are almost the same yet
>1911 has alot less mag cap
>1911 has no rail unless you buy one with custom frame which is more expensive
>almost same size and weight

Don't get me wrong the 1911 is a neat piece in it's time, but in THIS time, it gets fuckstomped by the newer .45 pistol

>>32433737

or you could get a 2011 which weighs the same and has similar dimensions to a 1911 and has 15 rounds of .45 or ~20 rounds of 9mm in a flush-fit magazine that locks back.

I'm not a 1911 hater, but I do think it's a meme. You only see baby boomers and emaciated veterans gawking over this century-old design. It's tried and true, and time for it to die.

>>32436697
Wow, three whole extra bullets, if you use an aftermarket high-capacity magazine instead of the 7-round mags it originally came with and top off the magazine after chambering your first round.

>>32436997
The trigger is what everyone likes about the 1911.
If someone found a way to get a no-bullshit 1911-equivalent trigger in a modern plastic gun then 1911 sales would go through the floor like a red-hot nickel ball in an igloo.

>>32431259
have you not heard of the hello this is dog meme?

>>32433737
>1911 requires custom frame for a rail and the USP has a rail
No, there are plenty of railed 1911's for about as much as regular 1911's and there are also retrofit solutions if you need a rail. The USP rail is also retarded and requires an adapter anyways...

>>32436697
There are multiple 8 shot revolvers out there

>>32436712
Yes there are probably better things out there but the 1911 still has its place for a gold standard trigger that is also fairly unique in that it is linear and it also is capable of extremely high accuracy.
