Well, yeah, it's in the name: .32 Antifascist Corrective Preparation. Originally they just wanted to call it Preparation H for Hitler but, between the grandfather paradox, and a trademark dispute with a different product for treating a different kind of flaming rectum, it just didn't happen...Originally Posted by Baldanders
Well, I have been referring to my p32 as my "RASP" (Redneck ASP) but I may go with that medication name instead.

REPETITION CREATES BELIEF
REPETITION BUILDS THE SEPARATE WORLDS WE LIVE AND DIE IN
NO EXCEPTIONS
The president of my local gun range is a retired cop and a .45 ACP zealot. He tells a story about being a rookie cop in the 1970’s and responding with his more experienced partner to some sort of felony call. The veteran cop was carrying a 1911.
They found the perpetrator/suspect, but he tried to run away from them. Apparently back in the 1970’s the police could shoot at a fleeing felon. The veteran cop drew his pistol and fired one shot of .45 ACP. The fleeing suspect flipped back, a yard off the ground, feet forward, and then fell straight down with a thud.
He was quickly apprehended, and when they checked they were amazed that he was uninjured. The suspect had been wearing platform shoes, which were in style at the time. The bullet had hit the high heel of the shoe, causing the suspect to trip, fall, and get the wind knocked out of him.
My local gun range president quickly bought a .45 and has been disparaging lesser calibers ever since.
That’s the way I heard it.

They must have done something because it’s seems a bit weaker than it was in the 80s.
We used to drive through there pretty frequently to visit my grandparents back in the early 80's. I remember it as being the most vile scent on earth starting miles before you got near the town. Haven't been by there in decades though to be fair.
Mas wrote about it in the September/October 1991 issue of American Handgunner: “Day of the Terminator: The Chaney/Lawrence Incident.”
Excellent article, if you can find a copy.
I have an article that cited MAS' article plus other sources as references. It is excellent. When I archived it for my use, I failed to cite it properly. I will happily email a copy to site supporters. Those interested can pm me their email addresses and I will send what I have which will be screenshots.
I was through there a lot in the 80s when I was in college in Athens. I only get through there maybe once a year now and it isn’t as noticeable. Could also be less production going on there too. I know they sold off a lot of their forest land.
All the 1911s I use for carry, home defense, and serious practice/training have a beavertail grip safety and undercut trigger guard because there is real benefit to getting a higher grip on the gun. But I must confess the traditional models I own with the standard GI-style grip safety are fun to shoot simply for enjoyment -- especially my Gold Cup National Match. I just don't shoot them nearly as often since it takes time and ammo away from actual training.
I read the first three posts of this thread when it started up and have been ignoring it since. At 18 pages, I checked in to see if anything interesting or useful had come of it. It hasn't, apparently.Having been to the birthplace of the speer gold dots on many occasions (Lewiston, ID) I feel compelled to make the correction.
Just replying uselessly to say that the later comments on the paper mill idea had me also thinking about Lewiston and CCI. Apparently, people who live there get their smellers burned out so they can't smell it anymore.
Oh, and all my 1911s are P220s.
