And it's a model 1911 45 ACP because shooting more than once is silly.

The sound is so loud, and the bullet hole is so big that even a glancing shot is devestating.

Autoloaders are not known for their stopping power due to the shorter cartridge design. If you want stopping power get a .454 Casul that's my dream gun. Of course if I got one. I'd not shoot it very often. it takes time to recover from a broken wrist....

Excellent point. That being said, for me, conceal-ability is an issue. I can make my 1911 disappear under a waistband and I've never had anyone detect it. And for me, concealed carry is an every day issue. Without the pistol, it's a naked feeling just like one would feel if they weren't wearing pants. I live in a wilderness area with bears and other predators. It is also an area that is so sparsely populated that there are no police for many miles.

Who am I kidding. I would have loved to buy a 1911 with .45 ACP but they are too big for my hand.

Yup - 8 rds worth of "you don't get to assault me or my family. "
