Wow, and double wow. Did he just compare a KelTec PF9, a Ruger Single Six, and Kahr's to the COLT SAA? BTW, it was WW II that stopped the production of Colt SAA, they were tooled up to make more 1911's, DA revolvers, sub-guns, and machine guns.

Nothing like getting whacked in the forehead from a 44 cal ball bouncing off a giant oak fence post. About 45 years ago I was enjoying my 1851 colt navy repro in 44 when that happened.. No serious injury, but it does show how hard Oak fence posts can be..

Kinda shows how hard a noggin can be too though eh?

do you know what civilian defense relevant speed and accuracy IS, bud? :-) it's ability to react to a signal, draw from ccw, and hit the chest, at 10 ft, in 3/4 second. That's fast enough to handle almost anything, but the only way to be that fast is to have your hand already on the gun, in front pants pocket holster. You can live in a fantasy world if you like. I've had to point my pistol at people 4x in my life, and guess what? They froze in place.

Here, just one pistol is kept at hand, the Keltec PF 9, with the Twisted Industries .22lr conversion unit. My girl uses a Kahr CM9. The AR and the 1911 are kept in the storage locker, minus the bolt of the AR, and the firing pin and hammer of the 1911. Both have .22lr conversion units. Typical theives won't have a clue how to make the assemblies go bang. :-)

Sorry to disillusion you, but the old Colt SAA broke down a lot, due to the tiny leaf springs being used in the mechanism. That weakness is what made Ruger SA revolvers sell so well, and made Colt drop the SA about WW2 time, and only brought it back, after many years, as a "custom shop" option.

:scratch: Does not compute...
