Carry what is good for you. Practice often, be safe.

As a note, I have carried the same Colt 1911 for 28+ years. The only issues I have ever had were related to either bad ammo (crappy reloads) or a crappy magazine (my fault for being cheap).

1911 are as American as Apple pie. Everyone should have one in the safe just because.

1911s allow me to put rounds downrange in a fairly accurate and quick manner without a lot of effort.

When revolvers fail, they fail big. But then again, some famous trainer(Hackthorn) said 1911 is the best CQB weapon and king of feedway stoppages.

Here is a video of a revolver falling apart.

That looks like it was staged.

No it is not. The shooter actually posted the photo of his gun on ar15.com after the incident, IIRC. It was sent back to S&W.
