    I started off carrying a revolver and later switched to a 1911.
    I carried the 1911 on patrol for about 15 years.

    9mm kills the body.

    45? they kill the soul.

    No it works if you shoot west as well. Just speeds up the rotation instead of retards it.
    I've done it a number of times. Haven't you noticed how short the days are now.

    The last PD that I was aware of still using 1911s just switched to Glock 17s. Interestingly enough, a large department near me just switched from Glock 21s to Glock 17s. If someone in the FBI published a study that indicated BB guns were super duper lethal given the modern makeup of copper BBs I would imagine that every department would switch to Crossman Powerline BB guns to save money.

    So clean you could do surgery on it is more like it.
    I keep it that clean so I can prove I DIDN'T shoot.

    It still gets carried every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner (cocked and locked).
    I bought it from the WW2 vet who stole it.

    Keep in mind that years ago when many cops did carry 1911's the Gov. models available at the time were not the highly tuned and customized 1911's that are commonplace today.

    I think the Perry County Sherriffs carry 1911s. At least they did the last couple times I was at the courthouse to renew my LTCF.
