I may have misread it as for it being posted, I looked in handguns and general discussion and didn't see it. I don't live in these forums.
they must plan on using those guns against civilians or other unarmored targets because the .45 bullet bounces right off body armor like throwing a rock at a tank
I would feel much better carrying 18-19 round of 9mm, than carrying 8-9 round of .45acp in combat zone.
As do most other handgun rounds, except maybe the 5.7 with armor piercing ammo which isn't available to the general public.
They need to carry Glocks..... reliable and you can have "high capacity" mags. And you know Glocks take a beating and keep on ticking. This should piss off the 1911 guys lol.
Special forces can probably handle more than 1 control and an exposed hammer without going into an autistic frenzy.
But the Glock 21 still carries nearly twice the ammo, and while they don't have 100 years of use, they do stand up to punishment as well as the 1911. I love a good 1911, and that SA trigger is sweet, but in CQB, the rounds out of a glock 21 are still going to be as potent as the 1911.
Or, if you want more than 1 control and an exposed hammer (totally understand), than why not an FN .45? Still have the big .45ACP, but 15 rounds. I get that Colt is a respected USA based manufacturer, the FN .45 is still made in the US. I think it's cool that the 1911 will see active military service again. But when you're paying for the firearm, the other guy has twice the rounds in the magazine that you do, will you care that you have a time honored firearm in your hand?
