I think a single shot .50 cal would be a damn effective man/buffalo/watercraft/zeppelin stopper
Well, that does it. I'm going with two pistols on my "war belt"! A Walther PPQ 9mm on my strong side and a Colt 1911 Series 70 .45 ACP on the weak side. Then when things go south, and I have to put a bad guy down, I'll alternate shooting the 9mm and 45 ACP. If he happens to still be breathing, I'll ask him which one hurts the most :haha:
relevant in what context? I simply do not see the need for the question in the first place, outside the context of antifa / Buy Large Mansion mobs blocking streets. In which case if an individual is facing a mob of that size and they're armed? And all you have is your 1911 & maybe a couple extra mags? That is not a deficiency on the part of a 1911 or .45. It is a scenario which requires proper judgement to deal with effectively, part of that being armed should the worst happen, either to bad judgement on the individuals part or the mob becoming violent.
If mag restrictions come back, I see 45ACP gaining favor. Sure 9mm for CCW, but if it’s just a gun with out a size restriction, A normal size gun will hold 10 45ACP just fine. I’d rather have 10 45 than 10x9. Not really a huge difference, but I agree that 45ACP is ‘smoother’- definitely than 40SW (where did that go) and more push than a 9, but less snappy.
STI 45ACP 2011 or the FN 45s. Those are just hand filling, solid lead throwing titans.
He is pimping a Springfield XD in the article, that says it all.
And yet his latest personal blog post is on a 1911... admittedly a Springer still.
Meanwhile, Rob Latham and his XD…

I don't know what SME means, never heard the term. Either way I agree with you, if he wants to be relevant, bring up a relevant question.
As for: is 45/70 obsolete given : pick-your-caliber? Is a good illustration. You are correct, what would be the point of debating that?
FromMyColdDeadHand brought up a relevant question about .45. If potted plant manages to force through federal mag restrictions, ie: capacity, such as we had to deal with via his previous "legislation"
10 round limit or something along those lines?
A std. 1911 has inherent advantages owing to it's std mag capacity. And we're not stuck with some unworkable means of self-defense, off-the-shelf 1911 can get the job done. It has proven that for a long time now.
