[Hodrod]

I like my .45's

This comes up a few times a year on every gun forum there is. Short answer: No

 

[n423]

.40 cal, now .45 . Not just NO!!!!!!

Colt 1911 in .45 was my first pistol...

 

[retrieverman]

I don’t put much stock in what others think about gun stuff. I like 1911’s in 45, and I really don’t give a rat’s hairy butt if anyone else likes them or not.

 

[MilitantBEEMER]

Nope.

I remember when guys were talking about the 10mm being dead/obsolete. I respect him, but it seems he just needs something to talk about.

 

[Glock 'em down]

I'm rediscovering my love for the .45ACP cartridge.

 

[trekrok]

I'm about 90% 9mm these days, but I probably enjoy shooting 45acp in 1911s more.

Comes up every so often is true. Next up should be something on the 380.
