^ And carrots are nasty, airplanes are the safest mode of vehicular travel, and snipers are the best marksmen. ...OK... the point of the above statement is: IMO, cooked carrots are nasty. By the stats, air travel is safest of the most commonly used modes of vehicular travel, but some...

Fake, fugly, and fruitless. Sure, if it was real, there are some gun-snob-brand-whores out there that will buy it just because it says Glock on it; but, Glock builds Glocks...not 1911s. I'm not saying that Glocks suck, I'm just saying that they are definately NOT fill in make/model of any...

+1 ^ That's right jon, in the tests I've see, the clogged JHP acts like a FMJ round as far as penetration goes; but, does not "fail to penetrate" the layers.

I went with Springfield. Specifically the Loaded UC .45 stainless. Still on the wishlist. I had a series 70 and a series 80 Colt Commander that I gave up years ago (I kick myself daily for having done that!!!) but I think the updates the newer 1911s have will make up for it...once I get the...

Field strip, inspect, clean and lube ALL new/new to you guns before you take them out for the first time. It's just a good habbit to get into.

You can have the most reliable semi-auto ever known to man; but, WHEN you have a stoppage at a critical time and don't know how to clear it with muscle memory and no need to think about it (because you were too overconfident or proud about your gear's reliability to practice clearing...

+1 I hear ya...but the OP didn't give the option of opting out of having to pick a NIB piece and go into a gunfight. The parameters given for us to answer the question imply that we have no choice but to pick a gun and go fight. So I guess another way to phrase the question is: "Based on...

When replying to the comment about NIB 1911s having reliability issues, a poster said: Yeah, OK, that's why my series 70 Commander shot smooth as butter while ALL my buddies had issues with their brand new Kimbers and Springfields. Five out of five of them had issues until they had 500 to...

Proliferation is not always the best indicator...example SA-7s are all over the world; but, are they the best? Heck no! Am I saying that Glocks are POS like the SA-7? Not by a long shot. To arm an army? Any of the modern plymer "combat" pistols. To arm self? Well, it all comes down to...

Lemme see...brand new, out of the box, no cleaning, no break-in...and must trust to operate reliably...trouble free out of the box. ALSO, I know I'm going into a gunfight so the gun needs to point naturally for me since I'll very likely have to get a very fast sight aligned sight picture...

I went with the Springfield. 1911s are as good as it gets. Granted, if one chooses to carry a 1911, remember that the machining tollerances are much tighter and will require a break-in period to loosen things up for reliable function. As a general observation, the modern polymer guns are...

JHP will create a larger wound track, more trauma and bleeding; thus, having a greater potential of ending the threat faster.

Hi all. 20+ year Marine with 30+ years of shooting experience. I was fortunate to have a dad who was a hunter and taught me shooting and firearms safety at a young age. I started with pump aciton pellet/BB guns and .22 rifles and pistols. The bulk of my experience is with the issue M-16A2...
