But it's not the optimal pistol for self defense anymore.


Optimal for who? Under what conditions? Sorry, worthless point is worthless since you can't objectively call any pistol "optimal for self defense". I would say the 1911 is optimal for those who carry and shoot them better than any other handgun they own. Same for Glock, Sig, H&K, Kel-tec, etc. I own both a 1911 and a USP .45 and both would equally serve the self-defense role for me.

Every time it cooks down, then somebody jumps back in, The Possum's "The Race is On" starts plying in my head.

Give me 6. I'm not trying to gun down a mob of jihadist.

For combat, 18 is definitely preferable to 9 though.

You don't even keep enough bullets to load two mags for a glock.
