My primary cary gun is aColt Combat Commander, the all steel version * round magazine and one up the spout. Two 10 round magazines for reload purposes. The Federal 230 gr. Hydra-shoks work for me.
I have an S&W M60 .38 Spl. in my pants pocket as a back up piece should the 1911 fail. I doubt it ever will.Ammo for the .38 is 125 gr, Plus P Federal hollow points with two speed loaders.
I do have a couple of 9MMs but with a 15+1 mag it weighs more than my Commander of my full size 1911. The other has a 12+1 magazine and weighs about the same as the full size 1911. Its only advantage is the larger magazine capacity.
Besides, I shoot the 1911 style better than the double action 9MMs.
