[PSYCHO-FREEP]

That's why he 1911 is my favorite. It not only delivers the round where you send it, it keep on sending accurate follow-up, round after round in the same place. Not many humans will walk away from the power of this round!

I also LOVE the 1911, and have shot them for many years in competition. I would NEVER use my competition 1911 for self defense, as a lawyer could have a field day with my "Race Gun" if I were ever to use it for defense.

I feel that the 1911 is the finest combat pistol ever designed, which I also feel is a limitation for me. A 1911 would not be my first choice for self-defense, as I feel it is a combat weapon. Speaking strictly for myself, I'm more comfortable with a revolver in this situation. And I've got the perfect one for me: A S&W 625-5 (with a combat action job by Ron Power) in .45ACP, using full moon clips.

Speaking purely for myself, I'm just more comfortable with a revolver for that use.
