A .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol. does it look like a handgun? >> described it as a pistol. i carried a colt 1911. the united states military used that weapon for 74 years of its history. they changed i think in 1985 or 1986 to a .9 millimeter. reliable weapon. people use them for home defense or target practice. the general and again speaking in generalities for the gun folks out there that will criticize me, generally speaking only seven rounds in the magazine. one can be in the barrel. now, they do make versions, i think glock and others that have double stack magazines maybe 10, 12, 13 r...
