I’m sure if one were motivated, they could find a replacement sight for the 1911 that would push the front sight closer to the muzzle and therefore extending the sight line another 1/4″. Although here’s another question: why is the slide for a 4″ barrel almost the same length as that of a 5″ barrel 1911?
There is considerably more stuff going on in the back of the slide of a striker fired gun.
Which is the answer to your own question.
Usually has something to do with being striker-fired doesn’t it ?
That said, if the new HK is well accepted, would be nice if they offer it in a barrel length & “size” to make the most out of the USPSA & IDPA Boxes…
Because John M Browning was a Genius. The design of the 1911 make it a very accurate firearm and a very reliable firearm.
Ha! Good one.
Personally, I’ll take the 1911; like the looks, like the weight; glad to have the “right to choice” here in the USA : )
The VP9 has more junk in the trunk.
It’s like the Fergie-Ferg of guns.
Basically, for a striker fired gun, you get the barrel length of a Commander in the gun size of a Government Model. 😉
“Heh”, he said, adding nothing to the conversation. 🙂
And all this time, I thought the trigger was the secret to the 1911’s shootability…
No no, it’s the grip angle and the bore axis! /sarcasm
You know the only thing that keeps me from buying HKs? The mag release. Thats it.
