Sticking to their guns: Marines place $22.5M order for the Colt .45 M1911

I have a friend that did two tours and had to use his M9 in a real life situation that would disagree with you.

How would the .45 have performed better? Unless you hit something vital, the difference in stopping power is negligible. 9mm-.45 are just plain shitty for stopping power.

Maybe I should have qualified my post with "compared to the .45"

FMJs suck in general, Keep in mind they wound not kill.

The Marines aren't known for being especially smart. Single action only sucks, Especially if you need the double action.


Keep in Mind if your using your pistol, as a common ground guy, you're either a tanker in 2003 or in some seriously deep shit.

I like the 1911 but there are better choices for a combat hand gun. "but jordan, its a 100 year old design that works" So was standing in a line and shooting at each other.
