I'll bet on a guy engaging a threat with a 7 shot 1911 than a yahoo with a 33 round G17 who can't hit the target, nor clear a malfunction.

Bullseye. And the same goes for long guns - you put your money on the rifleman, rather than the dude with the glossy .3000 Hypersonic Super Magnum (with optional drum magazine).

Thanks for the links.

You're welcome. Hopefully others will take seriously the importance of professional training, and lots of it, to really learn how to "run the gun."

Anyone can pull a lever on a firearm causing it to make a loud noise, when often, the objective and consequences of doing so are not considered.

One of my well known firearms instructors / competition shooters tells us:

"Shooting a pistol is simple... but it's not easy."

And for the high mag capacity fanatics, forget the speed, per se, but the accuracy, ability to recharge the weapon reflexively, and concentration on the primary and possible secondary threat(s) to remain alive with the absence of cover and concealment.
