Gee, I suppose I’ve got to go throw my 1911 in the trash now.

I mean, American Shooting Journal says it had severe limitations...

Oh, the despair... I’m an anachronism, stuck in the last century.

Keep it. Not an “Assault Pistol.”

My opinion: the best handgun is the one you can shoot accurately - foregoing that, they're all worthless.

I prefer 45 caliber - slower and heavier round. Love SIG and XDM.

Pick your own poison and practice with the exact ammo you intend to use. Hammer guns like the SIG tend to fire everything, while striker fire handguns like the XDM may have certain types of ammo they don't like.

I am in deep stuff, my prefered carry gun is a ruger bisley blackhawk, .44 special, .44mag handloads. Follow up shots are not required. I hate wasting ammo.

The ..45ACP was designed to romp and stomp crazed moslem Juramentados. If you toss yours NOW, you will need it tomorrow when the only Juramentado within 100 miles will come for you.

A pistol is good to fight to your rifle.

I don’t think anyone would suggests a 1911 has severe limitations after seeing me use a series 70 combat commander. This guy can go pound sand.

My SIL (USMC infantry) cleared buildings in Iraq. He never used a pistol.
