bigger caliber carry gun options

Nah, just need to use some of those exploding black talon cop killer boolits.

SS190 ftw!

worked for the fort hood azzhole...
At approximately 1:34 p.m. local time, Hasan entered his workplace, the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, where personnel receive routine medical treatment immediately prior to and on return from deployment. He was armed with the FN Five-seven pistol, which he had fitted with two Lasermax laser sights: one red, and one green

I don't really get that logic. Some ******* picked the mall-est ninja pistol he could find and shot a bunch of folks, and that gives it some kind of credibility.

Why not? It worked for the 1911.

Are you saying teh 1911 is not the be all end all of personal defensive weapon platform systems?

No, not at all. I would never...

"Fitted with two laser max sights"? How the hell do you do that? One holographic and one laser pointer maybe?

The 1911 is like a V8. Both have been around forever and have been proven, also they have a big following. I have 2 1911's and a V8 in the drive way, to each his own.

Ha ha, i got 1 1911, two v8 in the driveway, and one v8 in parts in the bacement, i seem to be collecting them,

It would seem i need more 1911s to balance my collection out

A 1911 is kinda like an L head V8 from the early 1900s. The L head was an OK engine in it's time but it's no twin turbo BMW V8. Progress matters.

I wish I could afford the twin turbo v8!

Your dislike of the 1911 is obvious from this thread. To the point that what you say now is invalid. 1911 have a great following and nothing you say will change that.

That would be called a Wilson.

I think you should sell them.

.308 or gtfo.

Nah, I'll keep them. They look good in my safe next to my Garand.

Flat heads were around well into the fifties.

1. Big-bore self-defense in a concealable package!
3. Small, lightweight auto pistols are getting better all the time, and the Kahr PM45 is very likely the smallest and best pocket-sized .45 ACP on the market.
5. Gun Review: Kahr PM45
7. PM45

When they were largely discontinued in favor of better designs.

And hence the 1911 was upgraded, Please continue

Big difference between an upgrade and a clean sheet redesign.

Big diffrence between only having to tweek a +100yr old gun design to bring it up to modern day specs, then having someone do a total redesign of a firearm and call it a miracle of engineering

Modern day specs? Elaborate, please.

 

[drgrant]

.45 Glocks go Kaboom. .357 SIG all the way for defensive carry.

Yeah, too bad that pretty much any .45 load that would kill a 21/30/36 would also kill most other .45s on the market, too. I used to believe this BS too, but after having run like 20,000+ rounds of my own hand loads through like 5 different Glock .45s.... I now know better.

It was never designed to fire hollows points but with little modifications to the feed ramp and a little polishing, it fires it no problem,

I have no hatred for glock, but I have a friend that thinks there the only handguns out there and is relentlessly annoying about it,
