They took the 1911 off our approved list over 20 years ago, along with the 44 Magnum and 357 magnum loads.
I was at the range to qualify with my bright stainless Python and a female officer was having trouble with her new Gen 4 Glack, ack, ack. Glack perfection... Yup. I commented that the reason she was having trouble was because she had a plastic abomination. The range officer saw the Python in the holster, glared at me and said I'd be in trouble because after 6, I was done. I laughed and said if I needed more than 6 to finish the job, I needed more range time. He scoffed at me. I told him I wasn't an advocate of spray 'n pray.
He'd probably say that with a 1911, after 7 or 8, you'd be in trouble. These plastic pistol people... You never heard of a gunfight in New York City in the old days of 60 or 70 rounds being expended in a gunfight. It was 3 or 4 and the incident was finished.
