9mm was intended to wound a man, .45 was intended to stop a horse!
1911, 106 year proven history as combat effective handgun!

Was it the inanimate object called a 1911 that saved the day or was it the person using the inanimate tool that saved it?

I think you missed the spirit in which my comment was made. Did you not see the first post and the green smiley face I included?

There's a reason you don't see small, light, and fast linemen in the NFL.

And especially if he was shooting a 130 grain bullet with a charge that just barely made a 125 power factor.

I'm going to pray that God will forgive you guys for this. He probably won't, but I'm going to try anyway.
