So far retirement is a wonderful thing, if you can let go. Most LEOs can’t, that’s why we hit 65 and die off.
I previously owned a S&W Night Guard Scandium N frame in .45acp , loved the concept, disliked the revolver.
I bought a Ruger SR1911 in 10mm since I love that cartridge then later picked up the GP-100 on a whim. It’s an accurate little cannon. When in a revolver frame of mind I have been carrying it in a Simply Rugged pancake holster with an extra moonclip in a Simply Rugged pouch and a six round .38 Speed Strip with six extra 10mm rounds in a pouch from SR. If I’m wearing a jacket or vest I’ll weight the right hand side with an extra full moonclip. JM Custom sent my OWB-1 this week which kind of launched this thread. I can IWB a 1911 or Glock, too much girth in a revolver for my comfort.
The moonclips that Ruger supplies work for range use since you can load/unload them without tools but they don’t hang on to the cartridges well enough for pocket carry. Someone on some forum enlightened me about the Ranch Products moonclips designed for the .40 S&W 646 and they work perfectly though a mooning / demooning tool saves on finger wear.
For social carry I normally use the SIG 180gr V Crown or my own 180gr Gold Dot over enough BE-86 for 1,205fps load. FWIW the 5” SR1911 hits 1,250fps with that load so the GP isn’t giving up much in its 3” barrel. I also cast a 200gr wfn NOE designed bullet that is extremely accurate, goes 1,150fps and penetrates 8 gallon water jugs at 10 yards.
