I caried a 1911 for years and felt veryyyyyyyy comfortable with it and still would. I now carry a 9MM with a much higher capacity. The reason is strictly to to the ability to stay in a fight longer if needed rather than having to be reloading when I should be shooting. This is a personal choice not a everyone should do this type mentatity. Regardless of what you shoot, know the weapon, it's capeabilities and limitations, know how and perform reloads and SHOT PLACEMENT!
As for those crows, why do all the videos I see of Cops involved in gun fights get killed. Becasue the crow doesn't always fly. Crows don't do mental altering grugs, crows do not kill you or rape your wife or child.
Violent predators DO!
