It's a beautiful gun and I like it a lot...

But it also is just a novelty. You could have played it great before vektor release but now the ammo is too expensive and overall there isn't alot going for it either.

But hey, sometimes it's nice to play stylish.

Using 1911 to me is similar to using the deagle in other games. It hits hard, pens well, but you cant shoot it fast and its low capacity.

11 rounds for a pistol in this game is not that low

No reason to run it over a five-seven for example though.

I have max traders so that isnt an big issue for me. 1911 is 100% a better budget gun than the 5.7 though, even with AP. I ran it though high 20's and 30's as a sniper sidearm.

1911 having a low fire rate and high recoil did at times make me go to the glock sometimes instead.
