Re suck to use:
Depending on which side of the muzzle you’re on, I’d say yes you’re correct.
I would say many German, Japanese, North Korean, and Chinese communist troops would also completely agree with that…
My old man loved his. Paratrooper, WWII. Those guys were always in CQB situations. He was 5’ 6” built like a brick **** house, and carried that everywhere.
Yeah they were okay for close combat in 1940s, and they’re the best range toys.
That said, .45 ACP is heavy, slow, inaccurate and not at all what you want in a modern fight.
