Why does everyone love 1911s so much?

It's like owning Marilyn Monroe at her peak and she'll look and live that way forever! What solder wouldn't want that?

1911's are the prettiest, especially with a little bling accents

The 1911 in .45 ACP is a nearly perfect pointing protective pistol for most people; almost everyone knows how to use it.

To copy from mjblazor, the 1911 is the beautiful sexy Marilyn Monroe and the handsome tough Audie Murphy. It is America's DNA.

The comments replying to the OPs post makes my Blood feel Blue. I am tingling all over. I feel I need to get out all my 1911s and just hold them. Reading the replies is like reading the Soul of the American Patriot.

When I pick one of mine up, it's like shaking hands with an old friend.

Even tho I started out on one many years ago, (it was stolen), I moved on to revolvers and somewhere along the line, picked up a Glock. Recently a buddy let me shoot a couple of his and I was, once again, Hooked!
