The 1911 was the worst handgun ever designed in my opinion. That's why it never made it into law enforcement successfully!
In Nam the lefties carried them on half cock and could not use the thumb safety so they relied on the grip safety, which didn't work on them Remington Rand WWII worn out rust magnet junkers that were issued to us. You would be surprised how many of us got a hold of a Russian Mak or a Chinese TA33 and used them!
By the way, Vietnam is one word only!!!!
