    There's just something about the 1911 that makes that story perfect. Every time I pick one up it makes me feel superhuman, and there our hero was actually being superhuman. VERY cool.

    I hope it's true, but I have a hard time believing it, man.

    That is cool, WWI and WWII troops were/are so bad ass. They have the craziest stories most mine dont even compare. I wounder how many shots it would have taken a Marine?

    Cool

    And if it AIN'T true, it's still good enough to inspire ANOTHER 1911 purchase!

    Having seen a few things in life that were "impossible" or "highly unlikely" to happen, actually happen, I won't discount the fact that it is plausible something like this could be possible. There's nothing like hearing stories from the the era of WWI/WWII. My grandfather had hundreds of them and used to keep me on his knee for hours telling me them.
