As of right now I'm packing an .50 Eagle in a pistol safe under my bed. Fortunately, I have yet to use it. But if a situation arose where I would have to take it into action, would this gun be an unwise choice? My only other options as of this moment are a ORIGINAL Colt M1911 from 1918, a S&W .38 sp, and a S&W M500. I am looking into getting a SIG GSR 1911 and decking it out with a M6 light/laser, but until then, is this the best decision? I can handle it quite well, squeezing off all 7 rounds into a paper plate size target in about 4-5 seconds (at around 25 feet). But nevertheless, I am unsure as to whether I am best suited with this as my first line of defense. Can I get some opinions here....?
