Hey folks, look at this here. We have the .25 ACP, the .32ACP, the .38ACP/Super and the .45 ACP. For the unitiated, "ACP" stand for Automatic Colt Pistol.

Get a 1911 style pistol, and learn finger/trigger control.

The only other cartridges worth mention are the 10mm Norma and the .40 S&W. The S&W stands for short and weak.

As for gun design, the EAA/CZ75 is an excellent piece since it can be carried cocked and locked in the proper manner.

What tickles me is the pinnacle of self loading pistol design was reached sometime between 1911 and 1935 by the same man, yet people who glean most of their info from hollywood and what the gummint buys as sweeteners in diplomatic deals look to the Sig and Beretta. I don't need no stinking decockers. That is what the trigger already does. I had sooner carry three revolvers than one double action only self loader. Take a good look at the welded together slide on your Sig, along with the breechface being held in by a roll pin. Plastic guns don't rust, but that is the only good point.

Really? A 40cal, 155gr Gold Dot at 1250fps is "weak"??

So I should just take the Glocks that have served my so well since the mid 1990's and throw them away based on your opinion?

As to "short & weak" do a little research on anecdotal police shootings.
