The idea of carrying a suppressed firearm strikes me as about as brilliant as carrying a .454 Casull. Wow, would a jury have fun with that one or WHAT? ROFL Besides, with a suppressor on the gun, it'll make you look like you're on some sort of supercharged Viagra. You'll have to walk stiff legged. Might attract the girls, who knows?
I expect that most of y'all know these things, and still continue to carry your comparatively 'underpowered' cartridges. A more powerful cartridge doesn't always require a major change in platform.
I don't see it as limiting myself. Controllability and placement are the most important things.

1911 guys, there exist conversion kits for .460 Rowland - which, AFAIK, does not reduce capacity. You can shoot a larger bullet faster than .45 ACP.
I think the motto "use enough gun" is appropriate here.
