The labor pains must be hell.
Happy birthday, my babies! I’m sorry you weren’t all born 45s, but not everyone can be the big guy in the group.
SCCY. I wasn’t even aware of that one. Looks like DAO compacts in 9mm and .380
I carry a Browning Hi-Power, it has 17+1 rounds of federal hst 124gr and I think that’s at least as good as a 1911
Good. Stay armed, stay safe.
I love the 1911. It is a great old pistol. Until the advent of high quality 9mm HP ammo, I would have picked it over the 9mm.
Now the high capacity better quality 9mms are the better choice.
I tend to buy used, both cars and guns. Because I let somebody else take the depreciation hit. My only real exception was my Uberti SAA, as I had been wanting a cowboy gun for awhile. And I didn’t feel like refinancing the house for a colt.

Smith & Wesson rules!
I like my Kimber .45.
Some day, whenever I managed to escape NYC a la Escape From New York style, when I have freedom, my first firearm will probably be a 9mm pistol.
Looks like Smith is getting the economy of scale thing going.
Modern 9mm ammo is just as deadly as .45.
And neither of them is instant.
Unlike the movies.
That’s why, if you have to shoot...empty the magazine to hurry up the process.
They all need good homes. Please consider adopting one.

Great for hot weather outings, especially swimming! ;-)
Perhaps but everyone is NOT “a real man” & is in fact a small in stature woman, I would suggest that they look into buying something like the “police surplus” Model 81 or 85 Beretta pistols (that are all over the place, these days) in .32ACP or in .380ACP.
Almost ALL of the Italian Civilian Police “trade-ins” that I’ve seen are in FLAWLESS mechanical condition internally, vary from 95-100% external original finish, have a capacity of 13 rounds, feed HPs well, are less than 300.oo to purchase & are perfectly suitable for EVERY DAY CARRY for SELF-DEFENSE out to 20M, especially for people who have SMALLER hands and/or are “recoil sensitive”. = It’s FAR BETTER to HIT a vicious predator in the K-5 area with a .32ACP or .380ACP JHP “double-tap” than to MISS any number of times with a .45ACP
Fwiw, I’m seriously considering buying a Model 81 (or possibly a pair of 81s) “in somewhat holster-worn external condition but NRA excellent internally” at 249.95 plus S&H, to refinish for a tacklebox pistol and/or a spare/loaners.
Btw, I’ve carried my Sig-Sauer P225/P6 in 9x19mm ON/OFF duty as a LEO, for over 15 years, loaded with nine 115 grain +P JHP & never felt “under gunned”.

Fact; More guns do not produce more crime.
I wouldn’t ever argue against a M1911, though I prefer a .38SUPER with ten 147 grain +P+ JHP to seven .45AP rounds, w/o reloading.
Fwiw, I’m in the process of buying a MINT Series 70 Colt’s 1911 in .38SUPER, w/3 extra magazines for 500.oo, as I write these lines, to carry on-duty as a SDUSM.
Yours, TMN78247
Keep churning them out!
