I like my 1911. The .45 has tremendous stopping power. I would not
trust my life to someone trying to board my boat. I am gearing up for
an around the world sail in a few years and have thought this over.
Remember ammo is cheap, life isn't.

1911 is my personal carry piece also. hit hard, dont screw up if you keep em
clean. and ironhorse, it may surprise you to know just how cheap life really
is in some places. hope you never find out. fair winds

I have a 1943 Colt 1911 however is still in original military issue box
wrapped in original wax paper. It's never been fired. For carry it's a
Colt pocket pony.

My favorate all around for the boat is a AR-15 carbine shorty with 4
point stock.
A lend lease American made British issue 303 in my sink em gun.

What makes you think I don't already know? 20 year US Army veteran
here. I have fired weapons in anger in two wars.
