Hi everyone,

The comment "both sides of the trench" reminded me of a letter I read many years ago in one of the gun magazines. It was written by a WW II veteran in response to the ".45 vs. 9mm" debate that used to get so much coverage. It seems that this guy found himself in a one-on-one shoot out with a german who was armed with a Luger. He was armed with a 1911. He said he took a round in the chest from the Luger, but was able to return fire and kill the german with his 1911. He closed the letter by stating that he still owned both guns! Talk about your war trophies.
