When I was in AIT we had to qualify with the .45. One of the Troops asked the DI how effective it would be in VN?

The DI, a Korean War Vet, said “Fire off all of the Mag then throw it at them and run.”

I noticed shortly afterward that RTOs, Blooper Operators, and M60 Gunners who normally would have a .45 as a secondary weapon took the Sergeants advice.

Modern 1911s are far more accurate without sacrificing reliability.
