Hey, gun nuts!

While the 1911 is my CCW if choice I would take a .22 over being unarmed anyday. I have the conversion kit for my 1911 so I can put hole sin paper all day without going broke.

What is it that everyone loves so much about the 1911?

Full size 1911 for carry? why?

idk... nostalgia? I mean don't get me wrong they are good weapons but there are better for carry/combat/duty etc.

I won't argue with the .45 though. It packs just as big if not bigger punch as a 9mm or 40cal (all ammo/weapon dependent) and get's plenty of penetration (through clothing) but over penetration isn't quite as big of a concern.

However through anything solid like glass/wood/car doors etc it looses a lot of effectiveness. Answer? 10mm....it dose everything.

Dependable, no flash, just results.

I guess. I sort of feel the way you do about them.

Why no flash?

It's all about the image.

1911s are ALL about the flash.

The carbon fiber will go on the R1 since I added a magwell to the Kimber and need new grips on it.

That was when you chambered the Kimber for .223, right?

Yep.

He's a firearms expert.

I am a expert in http://col.stb01.s-msn.com/i/E2/C7DF23AE2F79CE9C6A54331EEF522.jpg

No doubt.

 

[Frizzle_Fry]

Why no flash?

Pretty damn close except 10mm tend to have a bit more speed and it sends their kinetic energy level up quite a bit over the shorter 40 cal.

Is this me?

 

[koalabear]

Pretty damn close except 10mm tend to have a bit more speed and it sends their kinetic energy level up quite a bit.

But if the zombie apocalypse happens it's easier to find .45 ammo.

That and it is expense as hell...even when compared to overpriced .45

That's why I only have 1 10mm and 3 45's

they're similar, but .40 is much more prevalent than 10mm.

10mm didn't take off like people many people thought it would...

If I was going to get into an oddball caliber, I'd go with FN 5.7

Reload, only way to go.

Damn! Now I need to go buy 2 more .45's to keep up.

yea, much like the 44 mag the over penetration was just a bit much. The FBI and other agencies rejected it b/c the risk for collateral damage was too high.... when they all dumped it for the 40 cal 10mm died. It's just an odety bad ass I enjoy every now and then.

If the SHTF it would be left behind with the P-90 and side by side stage coach shotty.

G21, G30 and H&K USP

I still want my Custom II...which I almost got but I built a new comp instead. I wouldn't mind a nice sig either.
