All I said about the HRT was that (1) they carry 1911s--and that is not hearsay. I couldn't immediately find anything on FBI's site that says what HRT carries, but according to Springfield Armory Inc., HRT and FBI regional SWAT teams bought at least some SAI 1911s; and (2) because that design helps them hit better, which is ... well, I don't have a direct quote from anybody at FBI that says so, but that's what I've always figured the reason was. If you know that the real reason was different, I will sure stand corrected.
Nobody else has to do what I do, and you're right Team Sar'nt, many better and more experienced personnel will disagree with what I do and why I do it. Then again, at least a few people who know what they're doing, including my department's command structure and firearms instructors, DO agree with me. All I'm saying is, I will carry a 1911 as long as I'm both allowed to and nothing clearly better is available. But if I'm not allowed to at some point, I can learn to win with whatever they give me.

You didn’t need to mention any "tactical shooting" magazines articles or "firearms experts" your writing reeks of them.
I'll ask again, do you or do you not know first hand if the FBI HRT uses 1911’s or did you just read that too? Cannot answer a simple question? You are a full time lawyer and a part time cop, you should be able to answer the question.
I need not hear about your departments command structure and DO. It’s you spouting crap on this board not them. There are millions of gun owners that think like you, all read the same gun articles and pay homage to the same self made firearms experts. Here’s a secret you may not know, I've destroyed some of these "expert" firearms witness testimony in court and the client he attempted to defend is currently resting in a state prison for 48 years.
Spare us your opinion concerning weapons until you get a few decades employing them. This is not a request.
Call me "Team Sar'nt" again and I’ll rid the board of you.
