Mark, For combat I'd select the M1911 for reliabilty and knockdown power. After all a pistol is designed for last ditch, close in use. I do agree that the collectable ones are overpriced, but you can still purchase a new production clone for around $300. As with most of us of the Baby Boom Generation, we grew up watching the bad guys (both Nazis & gangster) in the movies on Saturday afternoons, threatening the good guys with their lugers. Even the comic books of the '50s make them bigger than life as well as having ads to buy a real one for $39.95 or a plastic copy for $5.
