one of his Vietnam experiences. He was on patrol with some Marines and a VC came up out of a spider hole and was ready to pull the pin on a grenade. His First SGT was with them and he pulled and fired his .45acp before anyone else realized what was happening. Jim told me that the VC just folded up DRT. The ammo was standard 230 grain FMJ. I have seen folks shot with some of these wonder bullets in the ER and they were torn up pretty bad. I asked the police what they were shot with and he said it was a 9mm hollow point but they didn't know the bullet until a cartridge was found. Turned out it was Speer round, I found out later after I was released from the hospital.....NO IT WAS NOT ME! I had problems with my heart and they were doing a precautionary bunch of tests. I have seen what a .45acp FMJ will do to the human body and it creates some pretty nasty wounds and will definitely put someone down. Personally, I would rather carry my .44 mag redhawk but that would look rather combative when not necessary, on the other hand, this IS Alabama.....LOL
