Here’s a suggestion - 1911 .45

Never equaled, never exceeded.

Except by the Glock pistol you mean. :)

Came to say the same thing.

Never equaled, never exceeded.

Yes. You have expressed it perfectly. There are nice compact versions out there, if that is what they decide on.

I was qualified on, and had to carry a 1911 for three years. I acquired a Sig 220 several years ago and IMHO, it is lighter, easier to shoot, less complicated to breakdown and clean. .45 ACP is a manstopper, which is why it was introduced to service over a hundred years ago and was around so long.

Yep - mine was manufactured in the Springfield Armory in 1914 and is still a straight and sweet shooter.

The only thing better would be the old Puckle Gun which fired square bullets, said to be better for killing moslems.;-D
