US Soldier takes 2 Prisoners with a Pistol

[Bob Seijas]

Amen to that! The only thing the P38 has going for it is double action, and it's my bedroom gun because of it... my wife can pick it up and just pull the trigger like a revolver. IMO there is no better round than .45 ACP... if I'm ever scared I reach for my 1911A1.

Take it from me, there's only so many pistols in any TO&E or Load and Org table, the guys will pick up a pistol wherever and our only demand was they run it by the armorers at some soon point to make sure it was safe to use. Weapons do get booby trapped...

Both are fine pistols and I wouldn't hesitate to carry either but the P38 is way more complicated then a 1911 to breakdown and has a de-cocker which makes sense since it shoots the wussy 9mm...

[Paul S.]

For me, the irony to all this praise for the .45 1911 and defaming of the 9mm is that my father, a WWII veteran (joined up in 1939) had no kind words for the 1911 - or any automatic for that matter, and called them 'unreliable'. He always preferred .38 revolvers.

defaming of the 9mm

All in jest, nobody here would be willing take a 9mm to his body. I carry a .380 mouse gun 99% of the time because I have yet to met anyone willing to take one of those either, that and they don't make mouse guns in .45acp....

they don't make mouse guns in .45acp

Not a 1911, but there's your mouse gun in .45... XD Mod.2 3.3 Sub-Compact .45ACP Concealed Carry Pistol

[Bob Seijas]

Yes, in general autos are not as totally dependable as revolvers. When a non-gun person asks me what he or she should have, I always recommend a .38 Special wheel gun... no safety to worry about, just pull the trigger. If you need more than six shots you are in the wrong place. But the 1911? Never fails. And it is a man-stopper for sure. I love that gun, and it will shoot your eye out at 50 feet.

Nah, that's a full size duty pistol compared to this.
