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.

Premiered Dec 29, 2025
In a move that has stunned defense analysts, enraged budget hawks, and electrified naval traditionalists, the United States has shattered eighty years of naval doctrine. The silence of the "big gun" era has been broken by a thunderclap announcement: the introduction of the Trump-class Super Battleship.
Designated BBG-1 (Guided Missile Battleship, Nuclear), the lead ship, USS Defiant, is not a museum piece brought back to life. It is a futuristic leviathan designed to solve the terrifying math of 21st-century warfare. Billed as "the most lethal warship ever built," it leads a formation the former President and namesake has dubbed "The Golden Fleet." With a price tag estimated between $10 billion and $15 billion per hull, the Defiant forces the world to ask a question that hasn't been relevant since 1941:...
