On the market for a new car and was wondering the other day what the 1911 of the auto world is? Asked a few friends and it didn't seem to be a real clear answer. Discuss
Anything classic that has been remade to be a bit more modern but still retain the original looks. So superformance cobra. Good luck with the purchase.
Why is this in firearms? Title does not really help it pertain to guns. Should be in the TCL.
This. Design as old as Methuselah, yet made practically "forever". Still everywhere and does the job for many, despite the age of its design. Lots of variants. Great aftermarket support.
That said, the same could be said of many Jeeps, especially the CJ (which is still quite common despite the newest ones being 26 years old).
Perhaps the 1973-1979 Ford F-Series also falls into this category?
more than a jeep. I spent too much time either loading one, bouncing around in the back of one, or driving one. Haven't changed much since the late 30's or early 40's.
I'd say Corvette too. While the design of core remain faithful to the concept(SBC, simple design), the car itself incorporates whats improved in each era. 1911 and its extension is still the mainstray of competitive shooting nowadays....
I think a Glock is more like a Corolla or Camry. Too innovative to be compared to something like a CV; but not exciting, just boxy and reliable. Maybe like a Volvo 240.
^ Agreed. The 50 isn't that fast. If I was going to pick a SST caliber it would be one of the allen mags, the 50-20 anzio, 338 snipe tac, or some other 505gibbs based round.
70 series Toyota Land Cruiser. All you need to do is look in any 3rd world nation. Youll see them beat to hell, plodding along just fine. They come in every arrangement.
best thread ever.. includes my love of guns AND compares them to cars.
