You definitely hear good and bad, it's tough to make a call these days.
I'm fence sitting on a pitbull in 45acp. 5 rounds, 22 oz. Sameish weight as a 357 j frame I carry. I like the idea of subsonic 45 apps. Could carry a 1911 mag for a reload! I bet some of the 185 gr jhp might expand, if not, it won't make less than a .45 caliber hole...and probably tumbling from the 2 inch barrel. I have plenty of 45 acp on hand.
But, most of my smith's didn't even cost 460, although they were purchased in another time lol, another age. . .
Not to derail the thread. Just don't hear much on the acp model. No moon clips I like. I have 45 acp moon clips, a truck load for another gun. Even my Wilson combat moon clips will bend pretty easily.
