sorry Dre, but that isn't correct.

it's actually 67.4% of all statistics that are made-up on the spot.
Ooh, recursive fun! If we keep doing this, it'll be 99% in no time! :shock:

I don'tmake up statistics.

100% of the time I steal them from Marshaul. So, statistically, I'm more likely to plagiarize than lie.

Unless you follow Mark Twains three types of lies: Lies, damn lies, and statistics. Then I'm a plagiarizing liar. Which is pretty pitiful. Its really sad when a fella can't make up his own lies and has to plagiarize them.

I do also have a Taurus PT92 that has the same dimensions as the Berretta. Even though we are the OC warriors, concealability may be a factor you may want to consider. The slim lines of a 1911 make it very suitable for this purpose. The Berretta is much more bulky. The added ammo also means added weight.

good point. i have indeed thought about that, and the 92 is definitely bulky to be lugging around.

BAH!

What do ya think about the Taurus 1911? :question:
Shoots well, and you get a lot of "extras" for a great price. On the other hand, I think they're ugly with waaaay too much writing on the slide and frame. I'd rather have a RIA Tactical, but they're much harder to come by.
