"It's the lure of John M. Browning, it's got a very strong appeal
Perhaps you'd understand it better standing in my shoes
It's the ultimate enticement, it's the 1911 blues"

Samson killed numerous Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Think of what he could have done with a 1911. I think he would have out shot Jerry Miculik.

I'm more inclined to think he would have fared better with a good Kabar...


...but he had the LORD on his side. Who could stand against him?

He would have ran out of ammunition.

Seems to be the limiting factor in all modern weapons.

+1 On the K-Bar, I still have mine that my father gave me and I used and blooded it in Vietnam.

I have used other sidearms. I own 72 of them. But of the 23 1911's I own, my daily carry or CCW is a Colt 21st Century Commander (Wiley Clapp model) which has been lightly modified to perfection by Eric Zinn of the CZ Performance shop. If I knew I was to be in a fire fight again, my secondary weapon/sidearm would be my Springfield Professional.

May God Bless St. Browning

Go figure.
