| The M1911 is a pretty cool weapon. Despite it's low capacity, it's a very popular design for two major reasons. First, it has a remarkably low profile for a autoloader pistol, so it's a very popular gun for concealed carry types. Second, it's been around for almost 100 years now, and so it's become the Honda Civic of pistols. You can get all sorts of stupid after-market mods for Colt 1911s, and it's arguably the single easiest firearm to get replacement parts for anywhere in the world. |
It's also, simply by virtue of its manly simplicity, one of the most stupidly reliable autoloaders out there. Probably only Glock has a claim of better reliability.
Some bemoan its small magazine size, but if you really need 15 rounds in your sidearm, you're in a bad place already.

Intern, if I were to do a weapons thingy, how much relationship would it have to have to Metal Gear? Rather than just a little book report on the weapon divorced from any videogame experience. I've beaten all three Solids but it's been a while for 1 and 2.
