Jealous? Moi

No, realistic? Yes

I just so happen to shoot the 9mm well enough to trust it implicitly. I can make holes where they need to go and fast... Many Many holes.....

9mm fricken rocks, I can turn on the sprinkler and shoot all the water droplets out of the air before they hit the ground... and I'll still have ammo left in my mag. :twisted:

I pull out my 45, the water freezes from FEAR! No shots fired, still have a full mag!

ok, now this is just getting sad.

:lalala: I'm not listening to anyone anymore, but they keep talking.

So the debate basically follows this line of reasoning: :catfight:

The purpose of a firearm in a defensive situation is to make the other guy leak from holes he was not born with. Your job is to install those orifices for him.

If only they made a .45 that was the size of a 9mm. That way you could solve the power AND capacity issue all at once!

didn't they make that rail mount that held a pistol under a carbine handguard?

I'm thinking stacked setup. 45 with 40 in mount on its rail with 9 in mount on its rail ... Now to figure out the simultaneous trigger issue :-)

What is with all you folks about this capacity crap.........
if you get down on a 1911 (8+1), then what do you feel about wheel gun carriers (5+0 or 6+0)..... :shock:

Isn't that why the cowboys carried two or more wheels guns on their hips? :D :lol:

45 ACP revolvers are fine. Others? Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
