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.
