Do shoot accurately with several of them though.

Carry a Colt 1911 more than anything, time-wise.

But the Ruger MKIII bull barrel Target 5 1/2" that rides with me on the ranch has killed much more than any other handgun I've owned. It would literally have hundreds, (maybe a couple thousand) of notches on it, if I notched, that is. grin

My family has a few of those Ruger Mk III bull barrelled guns. Damn things are the most accurate handgun I've ever shot, and so easy to shoot well, at least for me. Pop cans offhand at up to and past 100 yards was common when I was a teen.

I was out bird hunting with my older brother one day at age 12. Suddenly he handed me his shotgun and drew his Ruger. He shot, and then he paced off 132 yards. A cottontail, right though the head. A few deer were killed with same gun for subsistence purposes as well. He could always shoot it a bit better than I could.
