Gun, Caliber or maybe Romantic
We have all seen the "caliber wars".....I am guilty of starting threads on calibers and different types of bullets. For a learning process, of course. However, today isn't a pissin' match type question(s). We all have pistols. Some might be mainly for target, or weekly matches. And some may be for self home defense. And of course some are owned for a mixture of fun, self defense, even investment. But when it comes to shooting......
Do you choose the gun first?...meaning that some are so loyal to the 1911 platform it has to be .45 cal and they will carry nothing else. Do you choose the round first?....meaning if it is, say 9mm, does it matter what gun you buy...say 1911 style or polymer style...long as it is your caliber of choice? There is a sort of romance connected with 1911's. I get it. I get it so well I own 70+ of them. But I can buy a poly that shoots .45 that is lighter and holds more rounds. It will kill a bad guy just as dead as any other .45. So what really motivates you to buy a particular pistol type?
