9mm rules, .45 drools. What part of "speed kills" don't you guys understand?

I have a Smith 629 ,44mag...but who wants to shoot guns that will blow both ear drums if you shoot them without hearing protection?

I prefer my .45

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Well to put it in perspective I would much rather get hit with



Than get hit with



Sure the first one is faster but the 2nd one will hurt more.

Either way when I went gun shopping for my first handgun I wanted something that looked awesome, shot great, and just felt at place in my hand. I fired a Beretta 9mm when in the Air Force and it was pretty boring. I went to ranges and fired several other semi-auto's and eventually considered the Glock as my choice but when I fired a Kimber 1911 I knew what I wanted.

I bought my Springfield 1911 mil-spec but did some upgrades myself since I didn't like the factory beavertail and my fat hand got hammer bite every shot I fired. I put on the one that's on it now, changed the sear, trigger, and put on a skeletonized hammer. All adding better looks to the gun IMO. I also bought a Wilson magazine to try it out and know that I want to buy more. I love the fact that there are two safeties however I keep them both on. The position of the thumb safety is so easy to switch while drawing or aiming.

The next handgun I buy is going to be an FNH Five-Seven and I still wouldn't mind a S&W 629 and Glock or similar gun in a .40 caliber. There is no gun that compares to the looks of a 1911 IMO I just wish I had $3,500 to buy a top end one from Wilson or Les Baer. http://www.emersonbrandapparel.com/EmersonBrandApparel_Gunslinger.html#Baer

I plan on buying a Remington 870 to make into a tactical home defense gun and Marlin .22 for plinking this year hopefully before summer.

After one time with this it would not matter.


But you seem to like punishment, so 15 times of this would seem to make you happy.

I have a Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry II 1911 for my CC and I bought my wife a Kahr CW9 9mm.  Grandpa bought my daughter a CZ .22 with scope and bipod for plinking with at the range.

Anyone have a 38 super? A very interesting cartridge, IMO, and often overlooked. I'd like to have one of the 1911 variants chambered in it.

Interesting history behind the 38 super by the way, for those interested in googling
