I never know what I'll encounter on remote ranches that I do brush control on. In S. Texas, it could be anything from a wetback to a coyote, or rattler.

Seems to work for me. But, I try and hit stuff where it ought to be hit... wink

Got a deal on Herter's .45acp from Cabela's picked up 1200 rounds of it. Good ammo.

Same pistola, just changed the grips out.


That is great. I've found the 1911 to be a decent critter-getter myself over the years... sort of a 45 LC Lite. I carried ball exclusively in the sticks and I never swapped mags when going to town. It's pretty well established as a hash-settler.
