Well, before moving up to my 1911's, I carried a "5-gun" for years...a 5 shot 3 inch .44 Special. I believe that unless you're a law officer or such, too much is made of magazine capacity. The regular Joe carrying a defensive pistol isn't likely to head into harm's way like an officer doing his or her job. Just my two cents.

In days past I might have agreed with you but in this day and age where a home invasion may involve 3 to 5 people I think 8 rounds could be pushing your luck. Practice quick mag changes under pressure of some sort.

Agree..

NOT uncommon anymore for 2,3 or more intruders/attackers going after one victim or location..power in numbers...

I work with LEO every week..some pretty amazing stories out there..

Personally feel it is very hard to beat the feel of a 1911 ..they have it over pretty much any handgun out there..but for protection of myself and family..I will take the higher capacity every time...plus another clip or two tucked in my jacket...

World is no longer what it once was..not to mention that crazy little thing out there called terrorism..who knows when a group of those goat f*#kers are going to go on a shooting spree at a mall or neighborhood near you???... Yes, I'll take the 15-30 round clip version instead.. less time reloading equals more time hammering bad guys..

Here are some interesting and somewhat related stories..
