First of all, would it be unwise to buy Italian police surplus beretta from a gun show? They are really cheap to buy and are only $250 a piece. The barrels and inner components are certified to fire and they are incredibly smooth on the surface. Some cosmetic wear and tear, though. I ask because a brand new Beretta isn't cheap and tgese older 92F models are cheap.
Second question
Is the.45 a one hit kill bullet? Meaning one well-placed shot to the torso will instantly drop a guy? A guy w as trying to get me to buy his 1911 instead of a Gen 5 Glock 19 because he told me his 1911 was made to a higher standard of quality. Like buying a Ford Mustang V8 vs buying a Honda Civic. He told me .45 is more powerful and efficient than 9mm and that there have been more Medal of Honors awarded to people with 1911s than 9mm handguns in combat. But a former police officer told me 9mm is the way to go since you can carry more bullets. So which is it? The main reason I didn't want the 1911 was because he wanted 2 grand.
