...from a more civilized age”
20 years ago or so, a friend e-mailed me a list of guns and what their users think as they use/carry them.
On the list were several popular handguns; glocks, 1911s, Berettas, etc. The above quote was applied to the hi power.
I’ve since lost the list, but enjoyed reading it at the time.
Does anyone else remember this or have a copy?

I don't have the list, but remember a very similar quote by Obi-Wan Kenobi in 1977;)

I can't say I recall ever seeing the list, but I have to say the description makes a lot of sense...
The kids today don't have any idea what they are missing... they have never experienced quality in their lives so they don't know what it is.
I'd be willing to put a BHP with a 15 round mag up against a Glock any day...
FWIW

The more I think about it, it seems to me that quote is from the Robert A. Heinlein book Beyond This Horizon ... (which I have not read in decades)a one of the 'Future History' series...
The scene was where the hero (Lazerous Long I expect) was in a bar and a rude guy was shot with a 1911... probably the same book that had the 'an armed society is a polite society' line.
Fwiw
