It fits my hand nicely too. I use Federal Hydrashock 230 grain +P HST.
I have a S&W 9mm and a Springfield Armory 1911. If in a gun fight I would take that 1911 any day over the 9mm. The SA1911 just "feels" more like a real gun.
Yep.

A 9mm goes "Powpowpowpowpowpowpow..."
A .45 says "BOOM-a-Whackka!; BOOM-a-Whakkaa!..."
Veterans of the Wermacht have related as to how if they could get their hands on a captured GI .45, their Luger or P-38 quickly went into the bushes and it was replaced with a real battle pistol.
The 9mm works well for murdering Jews at point blank range, but they quickly found that it was a sorry excuse for a fighting gun in a real firefight with men who had the audacity to fight back.
the 1911 are "combat" weapons, they have a higher rate of fire and are more accurate (in the right hands and properly tuned) than double action automatics like Glocks, S&W etc. try squeezing off rounds at the range next time you have two different frames available the DA guns are more likely to pull and are slower than 1911's... it is no accident that handgunning competitors use 1911's they are the fastest and best...
