I couldn't fit the entire title in the header. But since we have had so many questions on the 1911 and 45 caliber ammo of late I felt this article answered many questions posed by some members who were aquiring interest in this classic handgun. Instead of me fumbling around trying to explain it, I suggest the link to his websight Backwoods .com. you will find a history of the gun along with examples of it's power and the comparisons to other calibers, primarilly in the professional arena. I hope you find it as interesting as I hoped you would. It addresses several of the recent posts on if the gun is still current , the ammo, and more.Enjoy the read.

I asked for permission to post parts from the article, but decided a link would be better as this is his public email that goes to anyone who asks to sign up, of which I am a party to, so no foul me posting a link to something that I am sent. Since I have referenced Mr Ayoobs email before, I don't think he would mind.
