I've read through this thread and the one aspect that hasn't been mentioned is the experience of shooting ANY 45 ACP. I know the OP asked, specifically, about the 1911 but, in my experience, there's magic to be had in firing most any 45! They have a "feel" all their own and... YES, it is worth...

Gen. 2 CZ P-07! It's the most comfortable, softest shooting, most accurate and best out-of-the-box trigger I have ever experienced!

Relative to your ammo considerations, the more calibers you have the more likely you will be able to find ammo for one of them! BTW, decent 22LR ammo has become one of the least available calibers.

+1 Some folks just have too much time on their hands! Total waste of ammo and could cause considerable damage to both the gun and the shooter.

I carried the P-32 for eight years... it's now in my wife's pocketbook. I now carry the Kel-Tec P3AT, only about 1.5 ounces heavier than the P-32 loaded. .32 is a great round if carried in FMJ. There's not enough umph for JHP and the FMJ will give you 10+ inches of penetration.

Kel-Tec, Kel-Tec, Kel-Tec I carry a Kel-Tec P3AT (.380) and my wife carries a Kel-Tec P-32. They both weigh under 8-ounces loaded and easily carry in your pocket. The Ruger LCP is also a good pocket carry (although heavier than the Kel-Tec). Its internals are all Kel-Tec knock-off...

Yes there are... Rossi Circuit Judge rifles. http://www.rossiusa.com/product-list.cfm?category=15 I bought the CJ922 in 22 WMR and 22 LR. Had to send it back to Rossi (Taurus, actually) for repairs. The barrel to cylinder clearance was nonexistent. The problem with these rifles is the...

+1. That's the smartest way to handle this problem.

They call that the Kel-Tec PMR-30, no? I have three 22 WMR firearms: a Savage 93 FVSS bolt action rifle, a Taurus 8-shot, 941 Revolver (yes, it's been back to Taurus for repairs!), and a North American Arms Black Widow, which is one of my favorites.

I find it interesting that the discussion is about caliber and not about the OP's choice between a semi-auto pistol and a revolver. If you want the fire power that multiple rounds give you, go with the semi-auto pistol. If you want to never have to worry about reliability, go with the...

You really should add Mossberg to your list. One problem with the 870 is that the elevator is naturally in the down position, which can cause loading problems in a high stress situation. The Mossbergs (as well as their excellent, little, low cost Maverick 88) have the elevator normally in the...

+1 No comparison. Pricey and worth it. Otherwise, H&K work well enough for a lot less money. http://www.hksspeedloaders.com/
