last count I have been in a half dozen, having enjoyed an active life. A couple cant count as gunfights as the adversary was armed with a knife and an impact weapon.
Real life fights are won by pretty ordinary weapons. body positioning and marksmanship win fights and gear that always works. The .45 isnt a little better than the .38 and 9mm but about four times better. The .357 Magnum produces gruesome results. (from seeing lots of after action stuff in 23 years of police work)
standard gear, cool head, good tactics and marksmanship.
