I figured Id start a thread on this because I am interested and do not wish to offend. Anyone who has been in a Self Defense situation where you had to use your weapon, or any LEO's/Military who have been in shooting situations I would like to hear about it(If your willing to share your experience.)
--Any input would be great since I just want to compare them together to get an idea of what would really happen if I had to protect myself or family. I have been shooting since 9yrs old and know that I know what to do in theory and am very proficient "In theory". I just want to hear from some people who had to unfortunatley go beyond the theory. This way I may better prepare myself if/when something happend. Thanks for the information and hopefully I'll never have to put it to use. But if I do I want to give myself the best possible probability of survival. (Defensive Pistol is a S&W 1911 fullsize 45ACP)
