I, too, use an M1 Garand for long distance and a 1911-A1 [45 cal. pistol] for the close stuff. I have used both "in the heat of battle" and for target. These two weapons have great hitting power, are very accurate, and are very reliable.

I have a couple of 1/2 " x 1' x 1' steel plates that I shoot at while at the range. The .223 leaves a splat mark, the 30-06 leaves a hole.
I'm envious of that 1911 though. When I was arming the budget wouldn't allow the expenditure. ;)
I have an older [circa 1960] 6" S&W .357 that has a re-worked action and is my body guard. The home arsenal should not be without a Remington 870 [or equivalent] either.
Here's to good shooting!
