You’ve sadly mistaken me for a Glock fanboy. I have NO plastic guns (except a Remington 1100 20 gauge synthetic that I got as a loaner for beginner shooters)
I prefer pre-war Smiths in revolvers, although I have several Colt Army Specials, Officer Models, and New Services.
In 1911, I will admit to some .38 Supers both stock and modified.
The 1911 in .45 ACP is an icon, and justly so, but I’ve never been one to join the bandwagon. My favorite .45 ACP is a Smith 25 no dash, cut to 4” by Badger Sports in 1960 with a trigger job and smoothed coke bottle stocks. From a rest it outshot a Kimber Stainless Gold Match I had.
Some things just cannot be improved upon.....the wheel comes to mind, as does the 1911;-)
Well all you large caliber fellers may be right. But I have read more than enough NRA mags with self defense stories to know that granny’s .22 wheel gun is just fine for home defense.
