Call it a prejudice, but I believe in the .45 ACP.
As do I.
When it comes to feral dogs, most of which are pitbulls, I would never carry anything less. Dogs don’t understand the “BANG” like humans do, and they don’t understand that they should drop when they catch a bullet. They keep charging. Need a bullet that literally severs tendons and muscle tissue and physically shuts them down.
I carry .40 now, but I carried .45 specifically for the reason it was invented : drug-fueled natives who didn’t stop when they were shot.
I went through the usual Infantry-oriented Army Basic training with the M14 rifle, then eight more weeks of tank crewman training, MOS11-Echo back then, which included the use of the M1911A1 .45 Auto pistol that served this country's military for just a bit less than 75 years, about a third of the Army's and the country's existence.
Call it training, experience, or 50 years worth of satisfied use, [I'm still here, above ground and kicking!] but I believe in the .45 ACP too.
