The CF uses the 9mm Browning and a 9mm Sigsauer (I don't recall the model). I've shot both these pistols. My Browning would fall apart frequently and I'm pretty sure it would have been better to throw it at the enemy than try and shoot it. My Sig was a lovely handgun, but for someone who didn't have much practice (next to none) with a handgun it was a bitch to hit anything even from a short distance. I actually had no training on handguns initially, they just gave me one when I deployed.
For personal defense, I have a Mossberg 500 'tactical' shoutgun with no choke. If I get into a situation where I have to use it, it's likely to be up close and I just have to point in the general direction. The spread will take care of the rest.
I spotted this pistol, 'The Judge' which is a pistol that can shoot .45 Colt ammo and .410 2-1/2" shotshell. My thought is that the shotgun shell option would be better to have as if I am going to pull my pistol it would be in close quarters anyway....or I would at least try to get close enough so I had an actual chance of hitting something! The .45 cal is overkill I'm sure, but the shotgun shell option is really appealing.
Think our forces would be better off using a pistol like this?
