I was running a .45 this weekend.
Nothing wrong with it at all.

WE have a lot of handguns in our house.. as to semi-auto's..NOTHING feels as good in the hand as a 1911.. as least not to me...

The ones available today can be on the spendy side, but they are super reliable, accurate and just plain fun to shoot...

True. The 1911 and Browning Hi Power to my hand have the same grip angle. I like my Glock but wish it had the Colt/Browning grip angle. Points so much more natural for me.

They say technology has made the 9mm almost as effective as the 40 cal and 45ACP. Well the same technology applied to them would make them better again, I would think. After all the bigger the hole the quicker the nervous system is negatively effected and the quicker blood is lost. Remember we are talking slow velocity rounds here not something doing 2500fps+

Agree with the above..I know I have used this example before.. but years ago I was in pistol competitions shooting bowling pins..could shoot whatever caliber you wanted.. those shooting a 9mm would at times have to shoot the pins 2 to 3 times to get them off the table--not so with the 45acp--if a direct hit, 1 shot was all it took, they were gone.. and yes, all things being equal, if modern bullet design made the 9mm ALMOST as good, then wouldn't that same bullet design also make the 45acp that much better as well?? More marketing bullshit..
