I've been carrying for over a decade. I carried a smith 642, glock 22, and now a 1911 in 45 acp. Amoung a few others, including occasional carry of single action Rugers such as my flattop blackhawk in 44 special.
I dont go places that are considered "bad" and I generally stay away from all trouble. My lifestyle is such, that I'm not as likely to be involved in a self defense situation as a more active, more town dwelling person. I generally stay home, I work from home, so my needs are not the same as what others might be.
I am considering, switching from my 1911 to a revolver, such as the gp100. But I have a hard time with that because I perceive the 1911 as better because of capacity and reloadability.
When I switched from a Glock 22, to a 1911, I was somewhat uncomfortable because of the perceived lack of firepower. I primarily switched because I like the 1911 better. And because I am a believer in bigger bore is better.
And that's the reason I'm considering switching again. I like revolvers better. I practice with them more as a result.
I currently have a gp100 in 357 magnum. That is one consideration in the switch, the caliber, 357. I prefer big bore cartridges. But when I am able to acquire one in 44 special, that would be my new love.
Have I lost my mind?
