Hey Peg! a full page of posts and they still didn't catch on to your NAA post! Ain't life grand?

Pecos

I saw it too but my smallest caliber is spitwads and a drinking straw...the NAA doesn't stand a chance with nuclear tipped, hollowpoint, super-magnifico spitwads from the former Soviet Republic of SchmuckMassaStanLaurel...

9 x 23...powerful, perfect in a 1911 platform, a straight-wall case, solving the problem of he slightly tapered .38 Super case, one of those rounds like the .38 Special and the .44 Special, where every relad I tried shot well, lots of el cheapo 9mm Largo for practice..and a SPECTACULAR FAILURE! LOL!

I say again...this is a "fashion" question...carry the caliber you like and adjust your tactics accordingly. Heck, if you whip out that little N.A.A., have some sort of plan to offset it's (numerous) shortcomings! Carry 2...or 3...or get the .22  Magnum version! LOL!

I try very hard to avoid the whole "best" discussion, but It's important to explain my own choices. That is, of course, when I have logical reasons!

Heck, I've never owned a 9mm anything.......
I guess the closest in caliber is my Colt .380 (9mm 'short'). Actually, the only real reason I own a .40 caliber is that they didn't have the Glock in .45...........
When not packing the 1911 in .45, I carry the G27 in .40......simply because it is the next closest thing in caliber, bullet weight, and velocity to my normal .45.

*And for the record, the NAA comment wasn't a swipe or poke at anyone, past or present.... I just had this sudden vision of Yosemite Sam blazin' away with a pair of mini 22's......... my mind works funny........

Somebody finally got it, thanks, Michael.

Peg if you and Tim are going to duel it out with nuclear spitwads I want to know the time and place! That's one I really want to see!
