“Problem is, .45 in a short barrelled weapon is usually way too much gun for all but very experienced shooters.”
A regular-sized man can conceal and learn to fire a full-sized 1911 in .45 ACP accurately.
That’s a skill a man should have, like archery and the use of blades, long and short.
One of my many CCW rules:
When you strap the gun on, leave your ego at home.

Ayoob has concealed carry holders too scared to defend themselves. Shoot them in the face.
They tried to make Bernhard Goetz into a Charles Bronson type.
True, I remember that.
If he had heard Massad Ayoob talk about how the law treats the use of deadly force in a one-against-many confrontation, he might not have gone to jail.
"Only the paranoid survive."
Goetz needed more range time.
“He said that once he started carrying, the whole weight of responsibility came down on him and he became a pussy cat.“
I’ve become even more polite than I used to be now that I’ve had my CCL for over a year.
“After you.”
“Thank you.”
Heinlein was right.

Agreed. And the police are not there to listen to you or help you. They are there to entrap you. Police work for the politicians.
I have been there when Andy said that. He meant it.
My wife’s CCW instructor was a retired LEO with a long career.
He told us that the “cops are not your friend”.
In the 70’s I worked with a relatively fat guy. One Friday night his wife emptied a .25 caliber Raven Semi-auto into his belly from three feet. He was back to work on Monday, slow moving but none of the rounds got through his fat.
He’s right.
Many months ago, a person I knew was murdered. 2 police detectives, showed up at my door to ask me questions regarding his death. I was reluctant, not knowing any facts at the time. Both of them assured me they were only there to clear me as a suspect. They might as well have told me the check was in the mail.
9mm JHP ammo from Barnes or the Winchester Ranger +p Bonded is more than enough. Check out the Lucky Gunner test videos. Expands beyond .70!

I’m pretty sure there were a lot of .45’s issued to the military, and there are some used in police work.
Was the guy’s I assume now ex-wife sentenced to unsupervised probation? Because the courts are unbelievably lax on women.
