I always favor more than less... I present to you the Para Ordnance 14-45....It's got everything a liberal can hate...high caliber and high capacity...

April 30, 2007 issue - The three students from Wilberforce University, near Xenia, Ohio, had a tremendous fondness for 9-millimeter pistols. They bought them as many as 25 at a time from the accommodating owner of the Hole in the Wall Gun Shop, James Dillard. As required by Ohio law, the buyers duly attested that the guns were for their personal use, which was good enough for Dillard. In fact, according to federal prosecutors, the pistols were passed to a gunrunner who resold them to street gangs. Seventy-six 9mm semiautomatics were sold to just one gang, the Double II Bloods of East Orange, N.J. Jamel Coward, who already had a .45, bought a Leinad 9mm and went out with a friend to try it out. On people. They drove down a street in what they believed to be the territory of the rival Crips, and Coward commenced firing. He wounded three bystanders before a bullet struck 19-year-old Erron Lewin in the neck. Lewin, who belonged to no gang, died on the spot.

Well when I said “larger calibers” I meant “larger than a 45 ACP”. Recoil on a 44 mag and 50 can be a little distracting.
Feminine bulge? Tell that to Dirty Harry.
Thanks for the suggestion. What are the 1911 difficulties?
In such a case, Mr. Dillard would have filled out the required ATF Form 3310.4, and submitted it THAT DAY to the National Tracing Center and the CLEO of his jurisdiction.
What action those entities took upon learning of this (and presumably other similar) multiple sale is not reported.
I was thinking about carting out my old CZ-52 for a range workout. $89 when I bought it 2 or three years ago - I think you can get one for about $125 now.
The ammo is dirt cheap, and the thing packs a whollop.
The 9mm originated in Europe, so it must be bad.
99% positive this is not true; .40 S&W has replaced 9x19 as the LEA caliber of choice and owns the majority stake nationwide.
Glock mod. 22 (.40 cal) solves the problem with 9MMs.

I just bought a XD9 subcompact a couple days ago. Went directly from the gunshop to the range. What a great tool for self defense and a little bit of fun too.
I love mine, but when I take it to the range after not shooting it for 6 months my first few shots aren’t even on the paper.
The Model 20 is my favorite - the 10mm ballistics are close to a .41 magnum, and the thing is manageable.
Disagree, the 1911 is much easier than most pistols to hit with because it has a good trigger.
The only fly on the 1911 is that basic maintenance is more involved than more recent designs. Not to the point of being genuinely difficult, just more complicated.
I’ll still take my Sig Pro as my “best” gun.
I think the 10 MM will become an orphan load...like the .41. It will still be available but not in the varieties that .40 and 9 MM are now.
P220 stainless myself.
Those, sir, are fighting words. 8^)
IMHO, John Browning got it just about perfect with the 1911. There's a reason that so many special ops and police outfits are switching back to the 1911 platform.
Love my 19 too. Works well, accurate, cleans in a jiffy. However, I’ve noticed some accuracy problems with the hi-cap magazine. That might just be me though - can’t handle a 32-round mag extending beyond the end of the grip.
I agree, and it's too bad, I think they succeeded with the 10mm what they were trying to do with the .41 mag.
Buy reloading equipment!
