Went Dove hunting with the in laws a couple of times but I just don't like killing stuff. That said, my favorite gun is my Les Baer 1911. I figure if I can't hit it in 8 rounds, I deserve to lose. On the other hand, if I hit you with one round Of 45 ACP, it's game over. Shot some revolvers at the range. Too slow.

I agree; while my home defense handgun is a 1911, I wouldn't feel underarmed with my Colt M1917 Jgarrick Apr 2014 #8
