Heh. Yeah, it was mostly about the “cool.” I don’t think the 1911 design is particularly unreliable, given the tests the Army ran on it back then.

I’m confused: which gun is the Harley? I’m guessing the .45. Harleys are cool-looking but quite unreliable and unnecessarily loud. (And I say this as someone from Milwaukee, where HD’s world HQ is located.)

Does a .45 have a tendency to not work as reliably as it should?

Well, as you did not really specify at the beginning and I was FORCED to read so much before you revealed that it was handguns you were talking about . . .

I kinda like the Benelli of guns, my Nova Pump Still looking at a Warthog for my first real pistol.

Well, any barrel that I can stick my index finger in usually would do the trick.

Heh! Make mine a Wilson Combat Tactical Super Grade. Tres Chic!

Probably true if you are limited by the Geneva Convention to using FMJ rounds. I would prefer to shoot a fast-moving 9MM hollow point over a slow-moving 45 thanks. (I can be more accurate with a 9. Maybe you can be more accurate with a 45 – if so great….) Here’s to getting the GC updated to the 20th (let alone the 21st) Century.
