0ne gun-.45 ACP?
HAMMER:
The .45 ACP is one D@MN fine cartridge and the GOV'T. Model is hard as HE!! to beat, witnessed by the use of it by all the [Special Teams].
It sits beside me whether I'm in my chair at home, in the car or truck, beside the bed at night or wherever I might be....BUT, on my side resides a G27 w/ 180 Gold Dots and assorted weights in two extra mags on the other side, and sometimes a G35 w/.357 Sig refurbishings,
As I said before...The .45 ACP is one D@MN fine round regardless of in whichever firearm it is chambered, BUT, It is NOT the "DO-ALL, CURE-ALL"
round. And the 230gr RN bullet in its Gov't loading, or equivalent by anyone else, is not as effective as it is purported to be. The round nose was designed to ensure positive feeding in the Gov't. model during its initial development, nothing more, and with the [HAGUE ACCORD] wounded more enemy combatants than actually killed them.... Even years before that type of ammunition was mandated by said ACCORD [WWI].
In fact, the round nose version of ANY caliber bullet tends to actually [push muscle and tissue aside] when penetrating, and does not cause as much tissue damage or hydrostatic shock as a [Flat Point], and definitely not as much as a Hollow Point bullet of the same caliber, unless an organ was encountered on its journey through the body. It WAS far more effective than any other [Handgun] caliber at the time save for the .45 Colt, either long or short version...And DO NOT come back with any booing, ANYONE, as to the long/short version nomenclature...They both are correctly referred to by others who are far more knowledgeable than I in such matters.
HOWEVER... Again, I digress. Bluntly put; The .45 ACP is GOOD, but NOT the BEST, And D@MN sure not the One-cartridge/caliber-do-all,-cure-all regardless of the arm in which it is chambered. CLOOOSE, Mebbe, But no brass ring.
WILL.
D@MN, I hate it when I miss my meds.
