NRA Doesn't Allow 1911's at New Classes

[flechero]

Was the right decision made or was the fear of lost revenue the deciding factor?

So....maybe because of the hand injury, he is unable to demonstrate for students the proper disengagement of the thumb safety on a 1911 when drawing from the holster?

Or maybe they just wanted handguns that would not be jamming / failing to feed all the time?

I saw this proposed class described somewhere as a "Level 1" class - which I took to mean "entry-level". The 1911 platform is not a beginner's gun. I love them and own two of them, but they are a gunfighter's gun, not a beginner's gun. Maybe that is the reason?

I would argue that semi autos with no manual safety aren't beginner guns either.

So, argue.

Thought I already did. I guess I could post videos of all the professionals with Glock Leg or Glock hand. Since the NRA has reversed their decision I will just leave it at that.

Oh, I did not realize that there was only one manufacturer of semi-auto's with no manual safety. Too bad. Someone should consider making one with say, a grip safety. But then, what do I know? I just keep my finger off the trigger.
