Drifting Fate

Like many of you, I've been relying on the 9mm for a long time now.  It's cheap practice, easy to control, accurate, and does a fair amount of damage.  There are a lot of good guns chambered for it as well, allowing the consumer to have pretty much any flavor of pistol they want.  Currently, I'm finding the Beretta PX4CC, brain child of Earnest Langdon, retired USMC and world champion shooter, to fit the bill quite nicely (mostly because I just cannot warm up to Glocks, no matter how many decades I'm given): But, the 9mm is still no .45 despite it's popularity.  Tossing 230grn chunks of lead around at 850fps is, quite frankly, one of the most American things a person can do.

The other side of me recognizes that the longer the charade went on the greater the likelihood of Trump being ousted (all hail President Pence!), but it would have put on full public display the likes of Biden, Obama, Hillary, and the likelihood for the coup they attempted.  It is that serious and I can't help but feel Washington, DC, closed ranks and chose the lesser of the evils in te...
