Do I want over penetration? Do I not?
Do I need to use my side arm as a primary weapon. Do I need to ingauge targets out at a curtain distant. Do I need to carry high capacity ammo count. Do I need specialty ammo.

How do I get threats to make an appointment, time place and environment, so I can pick ahead of time. That's gotta make things easy.

Silly me, I thought the only outcome was to stop the threat

.45 is my favorite handgun caliber. Easy round to reload and plenty powerful without beating up the hand.

The 116th United States Congress just banned ammo, 9mm and bigger...'IT'S FOR THE SCHOOLCHILDREN!!' was the rallying cry heard across the nation, as the bill became Law of the Land. Anyone possessing the illegal ammo must turn it all in to their local PD within one month or they will be guilty of a Felony and subject to arrest, fines and jail time.

The 9th Court of Appeals ruled no 'infringement' of firearms occurred.
