I made that choice day before yesterday...
and took a 14" 870, 15 shot 40/180 (w/28 spares) and a 380 w/2 mags. Oh, and a switchblade. Dang near forgot the switchblade ;) But nobody wanted to play after I got there.
I get your point Byron, really do. I love the 1911 but 15 shots of 40/180, in a near-indestructible weatherproof handgun, just trumps it as a service pistol. There was a time when the only road to substantial capacity in a service pistol was the 9mm. Now we can have that capacity with a bigger, heavier bullet. Personally, I thinks that's a good thing and I'd like to see out military folks have that advantage. That's really all I'm saying here.
Beautiful pistols you posted there, BTW.
