Funny the few I talked to say the 9mm is fine and kills fine.

scout snipers often use the 1911 supplied by kimber. it is a personal prefrence. its usually not hard to get one issued to you if your in good with your CO.
About 2 years ago I had some 45 ball ammo for sale on GB and I sold 3000 rds to a Green Beanie was on his way to the sandbox with a 45. Had to send me his ID.
Yes the 9mm kills just fine. One of our Sgts(Canadian) engaged a Taliban fighter from his crew hatch in an upper window and killed him with a rattly old Hi Power. I unfortunately don't shoot quite as well when scared, so I WOULD like a .45. As mentioned, generally no further agressive action is noted after a .45 hit. 9's on the other hand....
Another Typical Government SNAFU! Saving Pennies, & wasting thousands! :thup:Quote:

I feel that if I have to shoot someone , it's because they are doing something to which I have decided they must stop doing NOW . So important they stop that it puts thier life at risk. If they die then or a half hour later is moot , it's if they stop that's important. The .45 stops best , that's what I carry.

Its like a freight Train, Just don`t want to be hit with it. Forget that NATO C r a..
I can confirm that World War Two era U.S. Property-marked 1911A1s are being carried in Afghanistan today - by the Greeks! I saw several this morning.
Very informative, thanks to all. I enjoyed it very much.
