Jordan --
	Please post this.  I have a friend in dire need of advice, and I,
being a revolver person, am of little help.

---------------------
I have a friend who wants to buy his first handgun.  He is fixat-
ed on the .45 automatic.  I tried to talk him into something more
reasonable, but he is obsessed with large pieces of  lead  moving
at  low  speeds.  Failing that all that I can do is help him find
the best .45 automatic for his money.

So, I put it to you, readers most wise in the ways of large, slow
moving, lead projectiles: Which .45 automatic should he buy?

Please send mail directly to me, I'll bundle it and send  it  off
to him since he is on a TOPS-20 machine.
