In the furthest reaches of time and space, it is my hope that a 1911 chambered in .45ACP will be used to put a hole in some alien's face. And John Moses Browning, wherever he is, will crack a smile.

Are the controls on that cobalt-colored due to the way they were case hardened?

>>32961912

I really don't know. Its a Turnbull restoration. I heard many Colts of that era had that type of finish but it was very delicate and almost never survived to the modern era.

Its gonna be the Glock I'm sure

1911 was the American service pistol issued in droves to officers, commandos, airborne, cool people in general, and heavily featured in propaganda. Literally every person had seen one in the hands of a respected authority figure. Most men owned at least one and thousands upon thousands were on the market since anyone with tooling was supporting the war effort. There isn't a big enough interest in fire arms to give this generation a 1911 without a draft and a victory that changes the world stage. If it happens plastic fantastic guns with few parts and high reliability will win over comfort, accuracy, and style. The 1911 may well return as this generation's defining pistol after the war due to disgust with notaglocks and all the cool kids having sexy pistols.

Subjective. The Glawk was pretty perfect 30 years ago. Only thing left to improve is the interfaces with new aiming technology.

>Sucking glock dick in one post and trashing superior HK in another
you faggots will never admit that glocks are overrated will you
$600 for a new one and $400 guns do everything better
Mainly because they actually listened to glock owners input

>>32962236
If it makes you feel better I think they're both overrated.


But the Glock is a much better value for your money.

>>32962205
IMO the kick on a 1911 is pretty soft, like a 12 gauge.

>>32962067
>>32962067

Even if they're good guns, they're not nearly as popular as 1911s, and probably never will be.

>Is the sky blue in your world?
the Glock has the natural aiming grip angle that revolvers had too for the most part before the 1911 changed that and cemented it. there are even meme macros on k about this. weirdly, people I let shoot my Luger love it's grip angle that is even somewhat more aggressive that the Glocks while at the same time berating the Glock for it. It betrayes their ignorant judgment and opinion about the gun that is based on memes and fuddlore.

Probably this. Iconic as hell. I bet more non-gun people could identify the "Beretta" than a 1911. And it's got plenty of things to bitch about just like the 1911 does, meanwhile people will still be buying them decades to come.

>>32962314
The grip angle is shit, the trigger is even worse
Many PDs have noted this and say its bad for accuracy

Does anyone else think that it would have been the M9, if the M9 wasn't such a polarizing pistol with infamous teething issues?

Glocks are kind of like the Smith and Wesson model 10 was in the 70s. It's widely used by law enforcement and civillians for a reason: it's reliable, durable and well designed, and easy as fuck to use, but it's not particularly comfortable to shoot and there have been many improvements on it since it's inception

>>32962282
Beretta is tainted by having become cool in the 80s. Anything that became cool in the 80s is impossible to take seriously no matter how good it actually is.

and yet problems plagued it at the beginning, they're all worn out in recent years, 9mm ball never made a good impression on the troops, pistols are now issued only to officers and rear echelon instead of a sidearm for every soldier, and the soldiers who used them didn't keep them upon returning from the war.

it didn't leave near as great an impression on those who used it, and now that it's been replaced it will be regarded just like every other outdated pistol of that time.

I think he meant a handgun currently used that is "so iconic and legendary that people still carry and buy them, military or not, even 105 years later".

Tbh I don't see any modern production handgun still being used in 2116. At least certainly not an M9 or a Sig P320. The M9 is stylish but too short lived and not as well received. The Sig P320 is a basic bitch brick like most new handguns we see these days.

You know I agree. They are iconic, not stylish unfortunatey but they have a certain look to them, and have a good amount of policework behind them. Whatever we're using in 2080, I bet "classic " films will show cops with Glocks and neo Dirty Harry sporting a Glock 20.

They are one of the ugliest firearms of all time.

>>32962584
Pistols were literally never issued to all troops, and sidearms are still issued to nonstandard roles all the time. According to some the M9 saw more action than the M16A4.

>>32962511
Yes, and all of those made basic improvements Glock still refuses to implements.

Steel sights, good triggers, finishes that don't rust,
no brass-to-face ejection, and now frame swapping.

These are features you can get out of a Glock, if you decide to buy one and proceed to replace the parts entirely at twice the cost than buying another pistol from the start.

The only advantage I've seen left with Glock is in their size to capacity ratio, in that the G19 is the still the smallest 15 round 9mm on the market.

you know its true. If anything id say the 1911 is more innovative, at least there are variants that are actually different
