Also, holy shit I can post on TFB again.

A noble spirit embiggens the smallest arm

...Did you intend to imply that you've only ever shot three semi auto handguns, two of which are 1911s? You know what I always say, normal people think of Glocks when you say "automatic pistol". Revolver people think of 1911s.

The weird thing is, even on pistols with safeties, which I don't really mind if they're even there or not, I actually prefer slide safeties, mainly due to the fact that my slender man sized thumb and fingers can really easily disengage or engage them even on the largest designs without any problem. It's less of an annoyance to me.

I strongly disagree. SIGs suck for quick fire because of their bore axis. I dunno why revolver people are so sensitive about bore axis, because revolvers don't actually have very high axes.

Indeed. Hunnicutt relates: "As the tactical situation grew worse with the German advance [through the Ardennes in December 1944], the 740th [Tank Battalion] moved to the Ordnance Vehicle Depot at Sprimont, Belgium to draw whatever combat vehicles were available...Two brand new M24 light tanks were at the depot by mistake. Part of the original shipment of 20 M24s to Europe, two had ended up at Sprimont through a shipping error...The M24 light tanks were particularly popular despite their low slung appearance that caused some recognition problems with the accompanying infantry. On several occasions they were stalked by bazooka teams from the 30th Infantry Division and the 82nd Airborne Division who mistook them for German Panther tanks. As a result, the two little tanks were nicknamed 'Panther Pups' by the battalion."
