    Sorry to be pedantic

    Nah man, no need for apology, pedantry is what we’re all about!

    but the mk23 is absolutely not “basically” an m1911 unless your only criteria is that it is a .45 ACP pistol with a browning tilting barrel locking mechanics common to most modern pistols.

    I am but an ignorant normie working mostly off memory 😭

      I believe you must be thinking of a few limited 1911 modernization and revival runs that got us the the M45A1 CQBP but never saw proper adoption.
