Several years ago I was doing some "Gate guard" duty and had our RV set up there for 24 hour duty as is required at some sites. We had a lot of "undocumented" (wetbacks) aliens coming through at all hours of the day & night. I was told to let them drink water from the stock tank but be wary and make them get out of there quickly. I had a 1911 which I still have and I wanted a carbine. So I purchased a Marlin Camp gun in 45 acp. It uses the 1911 clips and there is no mixing or messing up calibers when thing get anxious.
I still have it and now have a couple of 18 shot clips for it also, just in case.
