While I tend to agree I would have no druthers in carrying either ball or HP, somethings dont add up to the two statements:
The Moros were shot with .45 LC and .38s, not necessarily 1911s. I have seen somewhere in a book that the soldiers were clamouring for the M1873 .45 LC over their M1892 .38s. But the 1911 and .45 ACP never saw action in the Moro insurrection.
Very true, they carried single action armys after a while.
I did say designed, but I worded it wrong saying the ACP put them down.
Okay, designed to put warriors down in 1 shot, didn't see action though.
But, in WWII, I've heard that the ACP could make a Japanese soldier pretty much do a back flip (exageration, but you get the point)
