On the subject of the original post. Tom Gill liked the .45. But he always took one of my Lugers when we went shooting. However, When he asked for somthing to use for protection he chose a civil war colt 1860 army. This is the guy who took turns sweeping away bodies because they could not shoot the others coming at them. I would have given him a .45 , I just did'nt have one at the time. And you know, this top sgt. made me clean his revolver after he shot armidillos on his lawn. I was 35... He is gone... Now I'm 48 and I bet he's laughing... I know my Mom is, she left Paris Island as a Marine also. Try having a little old lady Marine Mother. She is 80 and watch out.
