I was thinking about aquiring a pistol before the Democrats make them unavailable. I'm reasonably coversant with rifles and shotguns, but not so much with handguns.

I heard the marines are going back to the 1911 .45 and I'm also sort of drawn to that one. Any suggestions on whose or which?

Had a Phillipino neighbor for awhile who used to brag that that gun was developed for shooting Phillipinos, as nothing else would stop them.

The jury's still out on that...

Can't go wrong with a 1911 colt or clone...There are so many options to choose from. Go to a reputable gun store, try a few out for fit...Springfield Armory, Caspian, and Kimber all make various models in various sizes and Mag capacity...I recommend any of those...

If you don't mind a meatier grip, check out ParaOrdnance...some of their models have double-stacked high-capacity mags...check out their LDAs (double action) are fantastic...

Once you narrow it down, go to a range that will let you rent a model that your interested in and see how you like it...

If you're buying a carry gun, think size and your wardrobe..."will I be able to hide it on my body?"...and don't cut corners or settle for the cheaper model...remember...the gun you choose may just save your life...and then again, it might not... The "10 RULES FOR A GUNFIGHT" include "don't bring a gun that's caliber doesn't start with a "4""...
