“What is the fetish for the .45 auto?”

Oh, I suppose almost one hundred years of proven reliable performance under virtually every condition and circumstance that can be conceived may have something to do with the .45 1911 fetish. Keep practicing with your 9 though. Head shots are imperative with this round - unless you are close enough to smack your opponent with the barrel that is... LOL !

I have about $5,500 tied up in three .45 1911s, but not the .45 caliber fetish.

Smith & Wesson 108284:

Dan Wesson Valor:

Performance Center:

And another $1,200 invested in a Sig Sauer P220ST .45 auto wearing $300 Crimson Trace laser grips. as my home defense pistol.

So thus far I have a $7,000 investment in the .45 auto caliber. Next year's acquisition is a Colt 1911A1 with custom work by Heirloom Precision for another $5k.

But yeah, what's a $12,000 commitment to .45 auto because I want to carry a P229ST in .40 S&W or a P226ST in 9mm?

Caliber wars...
