Chapman, a retired New York firefighter who carries a .45-caliber automatic.

Hmm a .45 caliber automatic Wow, where can I get one?? All I can find is those dang semi-automatic ones.

Thompson makes a nice one, of course concealed carry is a little difficult especially with the drum mag!

Perfectly acceptable terminology since fully automatic pistols are a rarity.

I used to shoot the .45 competitively when I was in the service. Practiced at an indoor range. The ceiling was pocked with ricochet marks from .45ACP rounds from the occasional times when the piece went full-auto on a whim!

Happened to me once and when you don't expect it, the dang weapon just marches up with each succeeding round until the magazine is empty - and the piece is pointed up about 45 degrees.

Certain parts in the action get too worn, and that first trigger pull is all it takes for a POWPOWPOWPOWPOWPOWPOW! experience.

He got hit with a .45 and walked away? Where did he get hit, in the pinkie?

And used only one round as well! Now that's trigger control . . .
