You guys are all so young. As a young fighter driver during Korea, we carried 1911s. Soon after they issued the aircrewman. What a piece of crap! You had the distict disadvantage of holding a lethal weapon that couldn't stop a fight. Plus, a couple of hundred rounds and they were worn out. Most of us just hung on to our 1911s. When the Beretta came out, I decided not to paricipate and continued to carry my 1911. I did have to qualify on the Beretta though. Nobody ever tryed to take away my Colt in Vietnam either. I still have it.
