9mm is a girls gun. Real men shoot .45.

I'll see your .45 and raise you a 12 gauge.

 

[Griz882]

Ha! I’ll see your 12 gauge and toss in a weather-cooled .30!
And he’s carrying a .45.

Correct...it’s the S&W M&P 9mm that was being tested by the Cincinnati Police back in 2005 or 2006. The only reason I was shooting it was because I was at the CPD range practicing with my issued S&W 5946 9mm following court...the CPD range instructors asked me if I wanted to try the M&P so I tried it...and I still sucked...gee, imagine that. ?

Those of us who are secure in our masculinity shoot both. Sometimes on the same range day.

And he’s carrying a .45.

Wouldn't that be a .45LC? Honest question, as my understanding is that the West wasn't won with the .45ACP.

You are correct. The far west...as in the Philippines was won with the ACP but the long colt won the wild, Wild West.

It’s probably the .32 variant PPK, to fit one extra round in the magazine.
