If I have my 1911 on I don’t need the 43.

Random aside: A long time ago I came across the suggestion that the 1911 was chosen in part because aside from its stopping power its accuracy at range suffered relative to smaller caliber arms considered and the Army preferred its officers to commanding rather than shooting. Don’t recall where that was stated though, though it was before the internet caught on.

It doesn’t ever seem to get talked about so maybe it was apocryphal.

For some likely demented reason, or just that I’ve a mile wide and not shallow silly streak, I’m now thinking about Danny Vermin and his Magnum 88 from the movie Johnny Dangerously....
