Obviously you'll win then.But I'm more accurate than you and have twice the ammo...

Just wondering if anyone here has chosen a low capacity firearm as their home defense weapon and why. Guys in the other thread were all seniors and used what they were most comfortable with, which I can respect.

The only reason I don't favor doublestack 1911s like Para-Ordnance or STI is my hands are too small!Maybe those that use the 1911's and revolvers for home protection are just getting ahead of the curve when eventually all of us will be required to downscale in terms of capacity.
Isn't the old saying "Six for sure beats a dozen maybe?"In my experience with firefights...
I have found that accurate rifle beats suppressive fire...so capacity isn't as big advantage as one might think.
I am not saying that a "high capacity" magazine isn't needed , desired , or not to be owned...but I am saying that in my experience it was the bullets that hit the target , that had the most effect on the fight.
Granted that the above is very subjective and open to argument.
It is as I said my experience after four combat tours....

Never was a fan of suppressive fire. My thought was always "I have a finite number of rounds, and you're telling me to fire them as quickly as possible in the direction of the enemy? No thank you." Later combat tours revealed I was correct, as are you.
True... but if you've got an empty gun your hit-getting is over. Hence my preference for aimed fire combined with ginormous ubermags that could satisfy a belt-fed... best of both worlds.Perhaps...but in the end only hits count.
