A friend of mine(slightly built fellow) carries one everyday. He always has and likely always will as he is set in his ways. His choice.

They just don’t make much sense to me when balancing size/weight/capacity/reliability and considering what else is now available. Plus, I imagine a lot folks stick with then because of familiarity or nostalgia.

I usually carry a wheel gun for my own reasons, but none are sentimental in nature and a lot of the videos I’ve seen popping up on various forums lately have me seriously considering making a switch. If I carried a 1911, I would be doing the same.
