        The best way I’ve ever heard it described, “It’s the gun that forgot to become obsolete.”

        I fired an M-1911 a little while ago. It was the instructor’s personal weapon.

        Turns out I’m magically some kind of crack shot with a .45. He was probably exaggerating but the instructor was an army ranger or sniper or something and told me he’d never see a beginner shoot that well.

        So I’m probably some kind of Jason Bourne type who just forget about his past as a super duper soldier.

        I put about twenty rounds through an area the size of a silver dollar. Short range — 7 yards I think — but he was still impressed. Or he was really good at hyping his students up.
