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.

Forget what you think you know about military gear.
The average Marine doesn't walk around with a tactical vest and a rifle slung over his shoulder. He walks around with a beat-up notebook, a knife that's opened more MRE pouches than anything else, and a watch his sergeant told him to buy at a PX for forty dollars.
Today we're breaking down the actual pocket-level carry of a U.S. Marine in nine categories. All of it real, none of it from a movie. The item that surprises people most isn't the blade or the flashlight. It's the one that's been on every Marine's keychain since 1942.

What really happened on Paul Revere’s ride—and why does it still matter today?
Most people think it was just a warning… but the truth is far bigger. On April 18, 1775, the British weren’t just marching—they were coming to seize weapons and disarm the colonists. What followed changed history forever.
In this video, we break down the REAL story behind Paul Revere’s ride, the battles of Lexington and Concord, and how these events directly shaped the Second Amendment.
This isn’t just history… this is the foundation of your rights.
