#1 God. how cheap can you get? a AKS is dirt cheap. Cheaper than most hand guns. No excuse for this stupidity.

#2 A properly maintained 1911 is still a perfectly good pistol. I've seen original issue weapons that still fire perfectly. They are awesome guns and I've heard a few soldiers and Marines in Iraq have started carrying them instead of the 9mm because of the stopping power.

Of course if some folks during the past century didn't keep them up they might be in bad shape now no matter what you tried...

#3 Actually I take that back. The article says 1911 U.S. Cavalry revolvers a pistol I'm not familiar with. I was thinking of the 1911 automatic pistol. I've never heard of any revolver having safety problems.

#4 Maybe modern cartridges are too hot for it?

#5 If they were carried everday these pistols were long ago worn out. They are either 38s or 45s that take 45 auto rim or 45ACP with half or full moon clips.
I am betting they are 45ACPs using full moon or half moon clips.
