Re: Double Stack 1911

if someone pulls out a gun and starts gunning down people in the mall, i'm taking cover and engaging.
but if it were to happen, it wouldn't be a long, drawn out hollywood gunfight. it'll probably be a controlled pair from a relatively short distance that stops any attack on a mall/church/school/etc.
95% of gunfights take place < 21 ft and 3-4 shots are usually fired.
my points are:
1) 6.5 oz is not some negligible amount of weight
2) there is no freaking way that a double stack gun has the same footprint as a single stack gun
3) violence is the last resort </div></div>
Tell yourself whatever you need to justify your decisions.
However all of the above statements are indicative of how little you "know".
Quote all the stats you like and make all the predictions of how the fight will PROBABLY be ended by your magical controlled pair, but at the end of the day nobody knows how an armed encounter will transpire.
Of all the possible concerns over what, how, when, why........to carry, you're superior intellect has boiled the decision down to 1/3 the weight of a bottle of water.....BRAVO!
