Casulls are nice for bears and ex-wives though.

John Wayne never used the .45ACP.

Ah yes, the old M3. It was cheap and cheesy, that was its raison d'etre for WWII. Shooting it was weird. The cycling rate was so slow, that you count count the rounds being fired. Thut, thut, thut, thut, thut, thut...

I like both of these quotes. Especially the last one.

The Duke preferred .32-40 caliber.

My bad. He probably had a Glock while filming The Sands of Imo Jima, The Green Berets, The Flying Leather Necks, In Harms Way, and the other ten WWII films he did.

Of course if he was a real man, he would have had a .454 penis gun....

The Duke was a real life pussy anyway. Instead of actually serving his country like his peers, he went and acted tough in the movie. He couldn't handle a 9mm much less a real man's .454 handgun.

At least it takes balls and muscles to handle the .454 unlike the .45ACP where even the weakest motherfuckers can use. The .45ACP are for the small dicks who need something to compensate but ain't man enough to use real man's magnum calibers.

BTW, he used the M1 carbine and M1 Garand in Sands of Iwo Jima, M16 in The Green Berets, .38 Special revolver in Flying Leather Necks and nothing in In Harm's Way.

When you really need it, I'll take ANY gun over none at all.............

But the best gun is one you can hit with.

All this crap about the relative "stopping power" of various handguns is just that. Crap. There is 2mm difference between a 9m and a .45.

There are numerous cases of folks being shot with everything up to and including Federal Tactical slugs (.71 caliber, 438 gr wt) and continuing to fight.

More folks (non-military) have been killed by the lowly .22 than all other calibers combined, simply because the .22's are so prolific. (Gabe Suarez: Secrets Of Reality-Based Gunfighting; 1997)

With deference to you fnfal; no weapon's any good if you can't hit the target. Mebbe you can hit stuff with Casull, but after a couple of rounds, I hate shooting the damn thing. Call me a wuss if you like, but I don't like the pounding that thing dishes out. The noise is impressive, but my arthritic wrists can't take the punishment, so it's no fun to shoot a lot.

Shoot watcha got. Learn to hit with it. Every time.

Remembered two more this morning:

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting twice.

Minimum force necessary means that you continue firing at the threat until the threat is no longer a threat
