-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I also own a Para-Ordnance P10, a subcompact 1911 variant with a 3-inch barrel, a 2 finger grip (unless you have the Pearce magazine floorplates with the pinkie rest) and a 10-round magazine. I am fond of it, and can shoot approximately 2" groups with it at 10 yards. I think it would be a decent choice for general self-defense, but I wouldn't really want to use it against an armored opponent since a .45 ACP's relatively low velocity and large frontal area equate to poor armor penetration. It is certainly lighter and more concealable than my Desert Eagle, though. Of course a MAK-90 with a 75-round drum has merit in a scenario involving armored home invaders... - -----Original Message----- From: cubic-dog [mailto:dog3@charc.net] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2001 12:33 PM To: cypherpunks@einstein.ssz.com Subject: Re: CDR: RE: Automatic's On Sat, 9 Jun 2001, David Honig wrote:

I can fire 9 shots in about 4 seconds and stay in the 9 ring of a B-27 silhouette at 10 yards, and slow fire I can neatly remove the X-ring at the same distance...I don't think it would be a bad option against an armored opponent--2 in the body to knock them on their
Yawn. Take off your glasses, shoot with your off-hand, at pigs in flak, then talk to me.
I'ma M1911 man myself. I have fired this weapon in question and found it quite agreeable. I was pretty amazed. I thought they were just toys for rich kids. However, if you need a rifle, take a rifle. For the bulk of that thing, might was well carry a carbine. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use http://www.pgp.com iQA/AwUBOyRRERj6oMyeDxZoEQLckgCfYc+DpuKKbIvDXEpYKwnr07z0p4AAnj7s sZzW4HzCUjeDIvu6SkwRMDMI =Eg5g -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
