I have a Colt Commando Spl .38 as well as a 9mm Ruger LC9s pro, as my church guns, but I have preferred the .45 standard size as my daily carry. Might not be so good for someone of lesser frame or a girl.
I also carry a 5” 1911 Kimber .45 ACP “Eclipse Target II” w/ Rosewood Crimson Trace Laser grips, and use only Wilson Combat 8rnd stainless Officer’s Mags.
