Last weekend, I traded a friend my *&* Mod.411 for a Para-Ordnance P12.45 in a straight trade. It looks nice, shoots like a champ and seems to be feed-reliable with both ball and HP loads. I've started carrying it cocked-and-locked in the Askins Avenger it came in, or my roomie's Galco SOB. (The PO used to be her gun, so now she's hounding me to trade it back to her.)
As I am pondering my inevitable next purchase, I can't help but notice that all the pistols in my collection are now either single action autoloaders that can be carried cocked and locked, or safe-action/striker-fired guns. Is this some kind of evolution one goes through? I started out with double-action large-frame autos, and I've owned DA guns almost exclusively until I got my first 1911. Once familiar and comfortable with cocked-and-locked carry, I've really grown fond of SA carry since then. My next purchase will be a long overdue one: I'm buying a very nice Browning HP this weekend. Maybe that John Moses Browning guy was onto something here....
