Most Marines I know are biased from the get-go toward the 1911. They lack faith in the 9. For whatever reason. But I'd wager that the majority of Marines who've been in contact--the majority, not all--have not had to go to their sidearm in a lethal situation. So lack of faith in the 9 may have little to do with operational experience.

I think if you have to go to your secondary weapon and it does the job, it's going to make you a believer, no matter what caliber it is.
