| #8 You and Mr. Cooky can divide the credit for tomorrow's reappearance of the hummingbird feeders I took down a few years ago (and the finches I'll probably shoot by midweek). |

| #7 Sniper, if you'll pardon a blabby trailing-edge (no relation) boomer for saying so, that's about the nicest bit of bragging I've ever seen. |

| #5 There has been a lot of research into terminal ballistics of 9mm rounds in the last two decades narrowing the "stopping power gap" with the trusty 1911. But really the only question is does the gun feel good in your hand and can you hit your targets while stressed. |

| #4 Nothing like the muzzle view of a sewer-pipe .45 barrel to quiet an unwanted visitor. Old, cold, ruthless and uncompromising stopping power, and after carrying it for decades, a comforting fit. |

| #3 1911 is great, but it's just out of date. It was literally invented in 1911. Firearms technology has come a long way since then. 9mm is better not just because of the power, but because you can carry more of them for the same weight. |

| #2 As I said in a comment to another gun article here a week or two ago, I have several 1911s and enjoy shooting them. The 1911 platform would never be my choice for EDC. Give me pretty much any SIG (P227 i n .45 ACP, please) or even my Grand Power P45. More rounds and not single action. |
