Brainchild of the legendary arms inventor John Moses Browning, it is a single action, short recoil operated, magazine fed auto loader. This venerable pistol had seen service in the US armed forces for 85 years since its official adoption in 1911. Originally chambered in the new (at the time) .45 ACP (automatic Colt pistol) The .45 "Auto" cartridge is a direct descendant of the much older .45 COLT revolver cartridge. The pistol was beginning to be replaced in the late 1980's by the Beretta 92f (M9 military designation) chambered in NATO standard 9x19mm. The 1911 pistol still remains popular in military service in special forces detachments such as Army Rangers, Delta and certain US Marine units. This pistol/cartridge combination has been battle proven as a very tough and reliable military sidearm. The Vietnam war wound studies of US military trauma surgeon Dr. Martin Fackler have revealed that the .45 has excellent terminal ballistics even in a military 230 gr. hardball round. In the civil market this firearm and newer various clones remain one of the most popular pistol types particularly for concealed carry and defense.

this term is used to describe a complete, and utterly ridiculous, tool. A Nor Cal Chucky doesn't play sports or have any ambitions in life, he just thinks that he's "hella tight." the problem is, he does nothing to make him seem BA except wear rainbow-colored SF Giants hats and show up to local high school graduations (prolly because he didn't graduate himself). any girl who has dated him knows they have made a huge mistake for dating such a A-hole. girlfriends' relatives make fun of a Nor Cal Chucky behind his back and even to his face because he is probably so blown that he is not aware he is gettin dissed.
Guy One- "Hey man, is that the guy that we were making fun of at Stacey's graduation earlier?"
Guy Two- "Yea I think it is! Look at his gay earrings and his purple underwear hangin off his ass. He's a total Nor Cal Chucky."
