I would rather have an M1911 than the Beretta in a gunfight. When I was in that sort of business, I carried my own .45 and a Mossberg Bullpup 12 ga.
Couldn’t agree more, SailormanCGA72.
My arsenal of choice includes the 1911A1 fueled from Chip McCormick 8-round mags, a sound and basic AR15 (20” A2), and the ALWAYS effective Mossberg 500 18.5” barrel with 8-shot mag tube and Pachmyr Vindicator kit. Been set up this way for over 20 years.
Toss a few boxes, mags, and bandoliers in the jeep and we are ready for just about anything...
