I prefer high capacity magazines, the 1911 holds 7 rounds, 8 if you put one in the chamber first. That just is not going to do much good in a lot of situations you would truly need a weapon for. I own a 9mm Taurus. I prefer it because I fired 9mm all those years in the Corps. When I practice and stay in shape I am a VERY good shot.
I also have an M1 Carbine for close work that a hand gun just won't do and an M1 Garand 30.06 for the stopping power and that reach you might need farther than 200 yards. I should own a shotgun as well, but I do not like them.
Of course at the moment I am a fat old slob that hasn't fired a weapon in 3 years, probably couldn't hit much past 10 feet in my condition.
if the last paragraph is so....you need the shotgun...i dont have a handgun.
i prefer the lock and load sounds....of a shotgun...that does away with 99% of the problems.
so if you guys were gonna recommend a hand gun for a 55 yr old woman....wears bifocals....can already shot a shotgun or rifle damned well...
what would you think? Me, i tend to like the ladies guns....a 25 or something....small...o face it i am a sucker for the pearl handles..what can i say...but i would like something that has more of a punch.
stylish photos of the hand guns would enhance your recommendation
