" 45 ACP and Enforcer" refers to the popular .45 ACP pistol cartridge often loaded with Ramshot Enforcer gunpowder for faster, high-performance rounds, in a specific handgun like the Nighthawk Enforcer (a 1911-style pistol chambered in .45 ACP). The .45 ACP is a classic, powerful round, and...

I have carried a Springfield V16 longslide in plainclothes (see avatar). I have never any problems. I have kept everything combustible away from the ports. I have fired all the heavy duty 45 acp variations (45 super, 450 smc, etc. ) and the port has kept the muzzle in place (and a heavy...

That is correct; however, my USMC handbook stated that was for area targets. We were taught to use 300 yards for point targets.

Is that a Boyd’s stock on the scount?

Amen!

Let us take a quick look at the 1st Amendment. I can say what I want in any state (unless I am obscene or encouraging illegal activity), because it is my right (also protected by the Constitution). I do not need a license to speak. Why then with the 2nd, must I have permission from the ‘man’...

Disagree. Driving is a privilege. Being armed is a constitutional right. Unfortunately, the states have to be forced to obey the Constitution.

To quote President Obama, “We won…”. God-willing this will change.

I disagree with you. Judge Thomas stated that the 2A is not a second rate amendment. The 2A should be treated like the 1A, in that, it is untouchable. You need no permit to speak, why a permit to carry.

Amen…

Agreed. Again, .30 vs .22.

‘In the end, hit potential was the same between the three different pistols, but I was able to run the 9mm pistol measurably faster. Felt recoil in the .40 variant was a bit snappier — more so than the .45 ACP — but I didn’t consider any of the test trio to be difficult to control when firing in...

Amen!

Why thank you. Purty - non-standard spelling of pretty. It is pretty and it shoots straight.

Springfield v-16 long slide.

On the other hand, momentum weighs mass and velocity equally — the equation is — mass times velocity. The weight of the bullet counts a lot more in the numerical result. For example, a 9mm 124-grain bullet moving at 1,150 fps has about the same energy as a .45 ACP traveling 850 fps (364.2 vs...

“What is left unsaid is that the introduction to light plastic guns made it difficult for many recruits to qualify.” Amen. Just because the FBI does it, does not make it moral or right. A heavier gun is stable and absorbs recoil efficiently. I spent some 20 years in the Marines (M1911A1 to...

To get a larger perspective of the war read: This Kind of War by Theodore Reed Fehrenbach, Jr. Excellent read.

So basically: the 45 is better than the 9, magazine capacity is not strategic, recoil is a mental issue, and a keep firm grip on your weapon. Interesting.
