Please don't start a flamewar or anything. This thought crossed my mind so I decided to ask.
Everybody's always talking about how awesome the 1911's are b/c they used it through two world wars and was issued for like.. ?70 years?
but I have to think.. in the world wars... when did our soldiers actually use a pistol in combat? My thought is... not often at all. It seems to me like the rifle would be the primary and almost only weapon used in most cases.
Of course.. I never did pay attention in history class...
