It seems like I see this a lot when the people who review guns, are reviewing guns. It somehow tries to segregate those guns which some of us carry, as not being durable, powerful, or resilient enough to withstand professional use as in the Police or Military. Or that's how it appears to me anyhow, if you think I am wrong you are welcome to interject you're meaning as you see it.
I sometimes don't see how the distinctions are made. Is say a Glock 17, more of a go to war gun than say a glock 19, or does it stop at a glock26?, "just to use one brand as a comparison", It seems that any gun that you can stick a magazine in that takes more than a derringer, could be considered a Fighting gun, if you are the guy doing the fighting, and that's what you have at hand. I understand that they are trying to make a point, but that point gets lost in translation, as many things do these days.
Would you agree that any gun capable of killing another human being is a Go To War Gun, or are there specific characteristics that such a group of firearms should have. Say 10 rounds, a minimum of 9mm, and some history? Let's not forget that our Go to war gun was a 1911 for 100 years or so, and that only had 8 rounds in it, so capacity is subjective to a degree unless modern technology has changed the rules. What is a fighting or go to war gun?
