i dislike anyone who tries to pass of a work of fiction as a documentary... like some nobel winners i know
Who the hell doesn't?On a side note I really really REALLY dislike Michael Moore!
My GF was 18 when she first started with my pistols, my G27 (.40s&w) is here favorite, and she always enjoyed the G21 (.45acp) , and Security Six (.357mag) as well. She now owns her own Springfield XD40. The only pistols she doesn't like are my 9mm (range only) and the .22lr. LOL. She says 9mm's are for *****'*. BTW she is 5"nothing and weighs about a buck.
I've always wondered why 9mm isn't good enough for your number 1 gun but its good for a BUG. Its still a 9mm and if you still need to stop a threat... how can you trust it?The .40 can be a little snappy, some people don't like that. A .45 can actually be easier to manage. 9's are IMO, target guns, great for training, or a BUG.
I've used 9mm, .357 magnum, 10mm autopistol, 9x18mm Makarov and .45ACP for self defense. They all work, there is no "magic bullet" for self defense. In my humble opinion, caliber wars are useless.I've always wondered why 9mm isn't good enough for your number 1 gun but its good for a BUG.

Cost is often a big consideration. While money does affect, to a certain degree what I buy, I generally buy what I like, because I want it. Assuming it's in my price range. As much as I'd love to have a Colt 1911, the new models are just way to expensive for me. Rock Island Armory, on the other hand, fills the need nicely.There are many:
Cost, control.....
For me it boiled down to utility: my primary pistol(G17), backup(G26) & Carbine(sub2k) can all use the same mags & ammo. This includes 33 rounders for those zombie encounters

I'd buy Glocks, but I don't like KA-BOOMs.
Or is it, KA-Booms don't like me.
Ive only heard of Kabooms with older model glocks, and only with reloads in certain models. These did not fully support the case, and when reloaded several times, could cause a case rupture, damaging the gun and nearby personnel. There isn't anything wrong with a glock. Its likely the most common issued handgun worldwide. The grip angle sucks, but that's about it. XDs are better though.
Do you have an article like this on the M1A?
