Give me the Springfield because I'm a huge fan of Hydro-Stopping Knockdown Power!!! My granpappy once told me a story about how he stopped 7 enemies with one bullet! Or was it one enemy with 7 bullets? Either way it was impressive...

I just know someone, somewhere, will take me seriously so for those who don't fully grasp humor and sarcasm, the granpappy story didn't actually happen, Okay!?!
I am a fan of Hydro-Stopping Knockdown Power... and other made up terms.

Seriously, given the same or near same capacity, I'll take the Springfield. I'm not a big fan of 45acp in a short barrel but then I also reload, so there's that.

PPE (No not Personal Protective Equipment). Placement, Penetration, Expansion in that order, and if it's for SD, HD, CC then I demand all three.

There's no magic bullet but some bullets I've tried did seem a bit manic πŸ˜—... just a bit though.

Finally, if threatened by a 95 pound weakling with a gun or a 275 former prison ex-con with a gun, I'd be more concerned with the huge ex-con but that's just me. Even if you take the weapon/gun away from the ex-con he's still dangerous to the extreme.

People definitely need to suck less. A former Navy SEAL once said, "It's not that we're really good, it's just that everybody else SUCKS!" ... That pretty much sums it up.

Springfield, Springfield, Springfield,... 😍

While I'm not a fan of something that splatters upon impact, I'm a huge fan of something that does shortly thereafter. I've never shot a single thing in my life that cared one little bit that its' second lung was undamaged while its' first was shredded to hamburger. But that's just me.
