Colt Autos and Smith Revolvers for me.

Have you ever tried shooting a BHP with the mag safety left in place?

The 1911, if a .45 ACP, works well for most situations.

I use a chest carry rig...better than either cross draw or strong side.

I would trade. I carry my .45 Colt MG far more often than I do my Ruger SA. They are really good firearms.

Is this catching?

I think the K22 may come out at or near the top for accuracy. I have a couple of S&W K frame .22's and they outshoot all my other .22s (especially the 8 3/8 17-4).

Uh...S&W made numerous .357 magnum revolvers using the K Frame. The Model 13, 19, 65, and 66 are just a few examples.

I too like the WFN bullets in my revolvers. I do not worry about overpenetration, however. The majority of bullets fired in LE shootings completely miss their targets, so overpenetration is not the greatest consideration. I have not seen the data on non-LE shootings, but I will wager a similar...

Yep...case hardening. The 3" 625-3 was made during the timeframe of flash-chrome triggers and hammers.

I carry this one: Range toy: I have well over 100 moonclips and will usually have about 50-75 loaded for a range session.

SA only when targets are out past 100 yards or so. DA the rest, so about 99% DA.

I never understood this attitude. Weird.

In no particular order: S&W Model 625-3 .45 ACP Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP S&W Model 13-4 .357 Magnum Colt Combat Elite .45 ACP Glock Model 27 .40 S&W (too ugly to photograph)

Two views of my S&W Model 17-4 that was a birthday gift from my wife. Shoots like a rifle.
