Good ideas are easily reused. and No, I don't own one... but I did serve in the Army for over 20 years, including the period after the changeover from the M1911A1 to the Beretta... with a choice between those two to defend my life, I would rather use the Colt design and a pocketfull of magazines than the Beretta... I am just more confortable with the colt... and I have an old saying about P-38's... ( As much as I like the design...and I do own one)... they are like lightning!!!! (they never strike twice in the same place). I find the trigger pull, even for single action fire, horrible compared to a Luger or anything else... The Beretta doesn't improve on that much, but inside a room in close quarters battle, the big magazine would be an advantage... IMHO
