1911 vs M&P 45C


 

So, we've decided to ignore how 9mm is the same as .45 ACP per round and that 9mm gets more shots down range with a smaller recoil number.

Is the plastic fantastic better than a real MAN'S gun like an M1911A1 made from steel?

First off, the M&P 45C is lighter.  2 lb. vs 2.8 lb.

Second it gets you an extra shot.  8+1 vs 7+1.

Third, each magazine is the same weight, so you get more shots for the same weight of spares.

The only downside to packing an M&P 45C v 1911 is the drop in damage.

The 1911 gets 2d pi+, the 45C gets 2d-1 pi+.

I compared those damages yesterday.

But...

The 1911 will average 12 points delivered per shot and 8 shots downrange for 96.

The 45C will average 10 points delivered per shot and 9 shots downrange for 90.

Where the 45C will pull ahead is the extra magazine you can tote for the same mass.
