Perhaps - but, what is a semiauto?

You pull the trigger, one shot fires. Another is loaded.

How does that differentiate an M1911A1 from a .45 revolver?

In Fenty’s limited mind, I assure you, it doesn’t.

So his assertion that “semi-automatic handguns are still illegal” must be challenged.

I’m not arguing the legalities. I am simply saying that Borchardt, Mauser and Browning are generally creditted with the development of semiautomatics.

Fenty would probably have his brain go into vapor lock if he ever saw the video of a contest where the .45 revolver was fired faster than the .45 semi-auto.

Watch this!

6 shots - reload - 6 more shots in less than 3 seconds!
