RE: Colt 1911 For rabbit hunting?
It's a bit overkill for a bunny, and that is providing you can hit one with it. Not to mention riding a dirt bike with a handgun?
If you want to go rabbit hunting, go rabbit hunting. Are you afraid the little bunnies will jump up and knock you off from your bike?
Most use a shotgun for rabbits, but you can do it with a rimfire as well.
I'm not sure it would be legal either, deffinately might want to check into that.

And I thought Elmer Fudd was over gunned, where do you shoot them, in the head I hope! Just to speek my piece on the 1911, I would think that ball ammo would not destroy any more meat than a 22 hp, since those arn't traveling more than 780-800 fps.
