Of course, I have my justification, and its not about Army tests, or the Moros.. Its because my .45 is a 1911A1 and my 9mm is a Luger. (P.08)

When I first started shooting handguns, a friend had his Dad's well-worn Army .45 that had seen hard use in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. We were shooting at bull's eyes at some distance. None of that counter ambush stuff for us then. We couldn't hit a thing with it at that distance. Sights, trigger, wear.... But it never failed--not once. Another guy had a Luger--probably put together from parts. Maybe three jams in every magazine. No need to quibble about the poorly designed safety or the bad trigger when it wouldn't go off anyway. I know the data about Glock vs 1911 reliability, but I still have great confidence in the reliability of a 1911. And with my STI Guardian, I can hit pretty well with it. Not as well as with a really good full size model, but pretty well. |

I entered LE in 1981 and retired in March / 2010.
As a police officer, I had one motto that I followed from day #1, up to the very day I retired. "If you don't take CONTROL of the situation, the situation will take CONTROL of you"! As a civilian.......I hope for the best, but I'm prepared for the worst.
