I tend to agree with 18DAI. I remember a discussion back in the early 70's between an pro 45 Auto instructor and a group of metro coppers where the instructor took the position that only the Gov't Model was the gun to carry. One of the old timers basically ended the discussion when he said' "the last three men I shot with my 357 went down never to get back up". I think that were we knowingly going into a fight , a squad of fully equipped Marines would be my carry choice,otherwise I would suggest carrying whatever you personally could shoot the best with. With over 40+ years of carrying a handgun , my thoughts have not changed and the guns I carried at 21 are not too different than the ones I carry at 62. I should say also that my carry guns involve both autos and revolvers, depending on when and where I am going. I don't think there is a problem by having more than "one" choice, just spend the time to be able to use what you carry.
