Now that we have decided on the 1911 platform, would you prefer it in .45 or 10mm?
Well the 10mm has nothing to do with WWII so it really doesn't fit in with the original question. The 10mm in this situation to me would be like carrying a 44 magnum during WWII (had it been around). Its simply too much power for the given task. A 357 mag revolver, that makes some sense. A 40 S&W, once again, makes some sense. A 10mm? You might as well have a 41 magnum or something else outlandish. In close quarters, you don't need a round that can reach out and touch em from a pistol. When down to a pistol, the idea is to fight to get your rifle, then switch to the rifle. A sidearm is a secondary arm.
