Yea I suppose it's not so much the cartridge I wouldn't want to have to test in a gunfight I think it's the platform. Shooting under duress im nowhere near as proficient (Read:fast) with a single action revolver as I am with my EDC Glock. That plus capacity as well because I don't imagine a self defense scenario is always going to be stationary and if people are moving around and bullets are flying accuracy is going to be subpar. Basically I want all the advantages I can have in my corner should I ever have to use it.
6 shot .45 Colts were the law of the land for many many years so I don't doubt its abilities I just think there's better options so I leave it for what I feel it does best for me, namely target shooting and woods defense. Just like I would never bring my Glock 9mm with 124gr JHPs as a woods/bear defense gun haha. Everything has its purpose in my book. I have systems for everything lol.
