While I didn't strongly dislike them, I couldn’t get attached to the 59. I wasn’t thrilled with the cartridge, aluminum frames or especially the boxy grip. They did have a very short trigger reset and good single action trigger pulls, plus I don’t remember mine jamming. The flood of police surplus 5906s made my 59 so affordable that it’s hard to see them as collector items, but it‘s been awhile.

So what did Jeff Cooper think of the 1911?
