The other day I asked if I should go back to carrying this 45. I got some great answers in the comments. Here are my thoughts.
When I carried this gun it was for work. Things have changed. I'm retired. I haven't got a job anymore and I don't need to deal with violent people all day long. Obviously, I'm still running Practical Defense Systems where I teach, I manage our rental properties, and I make videos for GunGuyTV. None of which puts me in harm’s way on a daily basis. My needs have changed.
Back in the day, I needed a big gun because I was dealing with bad people for a living. I don't do that anymore. I also avoid places where bad people congregate. So, I don't really need to carry a big gun for that either.
I love the old Colt and I take it to the range a lot. It's an old friend. If I ever again need to be in harm's way, I'll take it with me in a heartbeat. But, not today or even most days. I carry my M&P Shield or my Taurus Model 85 most of the time.
Times have changed. My needs have changed. The tools have changed. I guess one size doesn't fit all.

They need to be put in prison right now for conspiracy to commit treason to overthrow the Government of the United States of America. These Democrats are Communists, as to the Secret Service, the FBI? They are comprised; all this runs much deeper than you think.
Now do you understand why the Democrat Communist and 50 RINOs are after the 2nd Amendment???
We, the American citizens, are the last line of defense of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They know this and are working with and taking orders from the UN, the World Economic Forum, and 300 billionaires; this is all part of the 2030 agenda.
Every Patriot must be ready to act in Civil Defense of Our Republic.
