I'd take the 1911. 1) proven gun for nearly 100 years 2) it has a hammer 3) it's made of metal not plastic.

Typically I carry a 6 shot revolver. In my mind, if you can't take care of business within 6 rounds, much less 9, then you are 1) either probably going to die anyway, or 2) you'll probably already be dead or 3) better off running away. Shot placement is what counts, not playing Mel Gibson or Bruce Willis with their spray guns.

If you forsee the possiblity of getting into a tight enough situation where you need "more bullets".....carry extra magazines....or better yet, pack an AR-15 or M-1 Carbine in the back of your car.
