    So, the other day I was at the range. It was pretty full so my husband and I were sharing a lane. A father and son take the lane next to us. No big deal. They seemed like nice enough folks. The issue was with their firearm. Their handgun was throwing their spent casings so high and so right...

One thing that I haven't been able to get info on is what makes and models are SAO other than the 1911. Ideally it would be something that's chambered in a "self-defense" type load...
