For the record The Beretta 92FS evolved from the Beretta 1951
"Brigadier," that was used by the Italian MIlitary. The Lockup of these Berreta models is based on the lockup of the Walther P38 - no other
semi-autos in wide use use this lockup.
A "1911" is a generic term used to identiry the pistols built by Colt and a host of other companies for the civilian or LEO market based on the desing
by John M Browning that was adopted by the US Military as the M1911 in
M1911 and later modified mimimally as the M1811A1 in 1925. They are stamped "Property of the US Goverment." Colt's civilian model of the "1911"
is trademarked as the "Goverment Model."
Given the two choices, a "1911" and assuming you meant one chambered in .45 ACP IMO offers more versatility in that:
* Plenty of makes offer models in Stainless Steel
and top qulaity adjustable sights.
* .45 +P with quality bullets will do the jogb against
Cougars or get a deer for venison if the user can satlk or take
a stand for a shot within reasonable distance 60 yards Mas.
* Accurate .22 conversion kits are available.
10mm Auto riases the bar power wise, given the right loads
and availablity.- Colt Delta Eltie was supposed to be back in production but I
haven't heard. Dan Wesson makes the Razorback 10mm Auto. I have a Bar Sto drop in barrel for my S&W 1911, Stainless, the .400 CB is a necked to
.40 (10mm) cal. .45 ACP case and can come close to 10MM auto
velocities up to bullet weights of 165 grains. I keep .400 CorBon
155 gr. Hornady XTP JHPs (@ 1350 FPS ) in stock
And yes I live in the Pacific NW, I'd recommend Bear spray for Black Bear
and hope I would have a heavy calibber long gun for Gizzly.
US Citizens can't bring handguns into Candada even if they are up north
hunitng. FWIW.
