My Wife’s fav defensive handgun is the 3” cylinder Taurus Judge in .45 Colt /.410 with six triple ought buck. And she is 71 years old.
There is a reason the John Browning 1911 design in .45 acp is still preferred after 100 years of service. If one has to ask the question as to why, they will not understand the answer.
I’ll take the good old-fashioned, no-doubt-about-it wheel gun every time.
