I have a .45 semi-automatic that has never jammed with the factory magazines with the estimated 1000 rounds I have used with the handgun. I would much rather take a reliable semi-automatic any day over a revolver. Just in case I miss I'll have about 7 more rounds to hit some guy with. Most revolvers won't give me more than 5 more rounds if I miss on the first shot. I have always been one to ask what if I need more ammunition? Revolvers take so long to reload too. I can just slam in another 7 round magazine to reload in about 1 second. Wheel guns have their advantages, but I would much rather take a reliable semi-automatic.

I bought the cheapest magazines for my 1911 that you can imagine. They're terrible. I can't go through 14 rounds without a jam. Those are the ones I use for practice.

I use Wilson's in my carry gun.
