I think they are very relevant. Solid design, hard hitting round, very accurate and comfortable in most hands.
You probably won't catch me carrying one anymore, though. They're heavy no matter what you make them out of. If I am going to carry a large, full size gun, I had to say it but a polymer 9mm works better for me.
That said, being the big heavy-baby I am, I generally risk my life every day sporting nothing more than a pocket .380, so I'm probably not the best judge of pistol character.
However, do I get brownie points for at least carrying a 5 shot revolver chambered in .45 acp?
