I NEED ANY gun in .45ACP . I don't buy into the propaganda from 9MM lovers that it is equal. "Bigger holes make deader souls". A 9MM MAY expand. A .45ACP will NEVER shrink. Most police departments have abandoned the 9MM for .40 S&W. While that is certainly a decent cartridge, I shoot the .45ACP better than any other caliber.

If multiple targets are shooting AT me, I am either having a Vietnam flashback, or I need to vacate the premises IMMEDIATELY. I don't carry a bunch of ammo pouches full of extra mags. And I don't get paid for "vermin control" in my home town. I have no radio to call for backup and no backup would be coming. I don't get paid to get into Miami shootouts any more.
