I’m not gathering my info based on my practice drills.

I’m gathering my info based on watching hundreds and hundreds of gunfight videos.

A modern gun in any modern centerfire caliber is better than no gun.

I would be, or a shotgun. Law enforcement on foot chasing a suspect into an abandoned house would more than likely only be armed with his duty pistol

yes they carry them in their cars either locked up front or in the trunk. Is there time to stop a Pursuit and go back to the vehicle to retrieve the proper weapons you would prefer to Take Along? You take what you have on you which would be their service pistol.

This guy used both 1911s and glocks for real, I think its personal preference.

"get a better look inside the mind of Pat McNamara, we asked him five questions about his job and his life as a soldier.

Okay, right out of the gate, where do you come down on the age-old debate of 9mm versus .45 ACP?

9mm.

Now, I have a love affair with my 1911. But the caliber debate is f$%cking dead. It’s all about bullet placement. And the thing is you can get 9mm all over the world."
