"Your hand closes firmly around the slim grip-frame of the pistol, and as you slide the weapon smoothly from the holster, your thumb closes naturally down until you feel the snick of the safety snapping into the "fire" position. The pistol seems to point itself at the target, and your finger finds the trigger at just the right spot, pressing rearward.
You feel the clean, crisp release through your trigger finger, and the familiar, soft bump of the recoil through the palm of your hand. Downrange, a reaction target is slammed over by the heavy bullet you have launched, and the pistol has already cycled itself, its sights coming almost automatically back on target as you let the trigger come forward a tiny bit until you feel the click of its reset, your cue to begin a second pull.
You're firing a 1911, a Government Model, the classic ".45 automatic.""
Now that is sexy and sweet!
