Carried a 1911 for over 40 years, love that platform, BUT, getting old puts a real crimp in my shooting autoloaders. The recoil tends to torque my wrist is such a way that it just plain HURTS, so I’m back to a wheel gun and all of its problems; limited capacity, slow to reload, bit gun but I do love my 629 V-Comp and now I have 625JM. Soft shooting, accurate, fast to reload, easy to reload for and a caliber that people that don’t know any better (liberal judges) don’t consider as excessive. I know that it shouldn’t make any difference what caliber is used in a good shooting, but there are some folks out there that will send you to prison because they don’t like your gun.
