Why would anyone spend so much time and money on a 1911 or a 427 side oiler when there are loads of Glocks and 385 series engines that can do every bit as much or more?
I guess if one needs to ask, they really just don't get it and probably never will.

I'm sort of fond of the old Browing Machine Pistol (< clickable), Buzz. It has a nice over the top kind of operating experience. . It also reinforces the idea with an aggressor that he picked the wrong target. The magazine makes shoulder holsters a little bit of a challenge, though.
