Given what you know about typical handgun fighting, what platform would you pick and why?
You are free to define fighting as CCW, HD, war, mall cop or whatever.
Hard for me to be positive, but I feel a double stack 1911 in 45 auto would be ideal. I feel fighting would not have me worried about concealment, but that capacity and trigger action would be important. Capacity to engage multiple targets. Trigger action to ease hitting where aiming. 45 for it's effectiveness.
