If he would hadn't run out of ammo he may have gotten the second guy also. Just goes to show you the 45 or die guys never think they will miss to justify having only 6rds.

Interesting conclusion, especially since it's easy to see his slide never locked back, which it would if he ran out of ammo. How did you deduce that?nightmare69 wrote:If he would hadn't run out of ammo he may have gotten the second guy also.

Around the 14-15 second mark it looks like he could possibly be reloading.Pawpaw wrote:Interesting conclusion, especially since it's easy to see his slide never locked back, which it would if he ran out of ammo.

If he didn't reload, maybe he does have a 9mm 1911 I'm not a 1911 guy but isn't that sacrilegious?
What if he was one of us fellow confused caliber identifiers and had a .40? Would it be the proof of how good the .40 is? Dropped the guy on one shot and didn't need to reload...
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Double stack 1911 pistols in 9mm are best guns for competition.

The AP actually ran this story on their U.S. News section. (No anti-gun commentary or snowflake thoughts for the dead perpetrator) Couldn't believe my eyes.https://apnews.com/d7fa7edc04904cc7a967 ... ry-suspect

I replaced it with another video from YouTube. The account must have been deleted for some reason other than the video itself.johncanfield wrote:The video was removed and the account terminated.
Thanks for pointing this out.
