No I'm not trying to make anyone mad I'm really not. I still here so many people saying the 9mm is worthless and the .45 acp is king and carry a real gun. I love the .45 acp. I have a $2000 hard chromed Colt custom shop special combat government competition 1911 that was made in May of 2004 and it is 100% perfect with only 1 or 2 mags of ammo through it. My best friend has one just lije it and it is the consecutive serial number to mine!! They wet e both purchased by him brand new at the same time. That is very rare, almost unheard of. I also have a brand new $2000+ Kimber custom shop Gold Combat II limited edition. They were made identical to the 1911 sylvester stallone carried in the movie The Expendables. There were only 1000 made. They are flat out beautiful. My carry guns are 9mm's though. With todays ammo like the stuff from Underwood Ammo which is the best period I promise you the .45 has no advantage over the 9mm at all. The .357 sig is #1 followrd by the 9mm. I've seen all the tests and the damage done by the .357 sig and 9mm is scary. There is a reason why so many law enforcement agencies have gone to the .357 sig and or back to the 9mm. The 9mm's sre better in every way. Way more speed, as much or more energy anf it matches the .45 in expansion and the 9mm has double the round count with a lot less recoil for follow up shots. I would like to hear others opinions on this as well. Like I said I love the .45 but it's time to face the truth. The .45 doesn't have any advantage over the 9mm any more. I know the .45 lovers can't stand to hear that but it's a fact. Feel free to prove me wrong.
