How about a Wilson KZ-45 (1911 polymer frame with 9+1 cap) on the night stand next to the Surefire Flashlight and a Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry with Crimson Trace Laser Grips for my carry gun.

For What It Is Worth: I too am "infatuated" with the amazing variety of "self defense" loads available out there, including the INFamous Winchester Black Talon load that was removed from dealer's shelves due to bad press (I have a bunch of 'em)

BUT...


Like I said: FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH: I have been told by a knowledgeable person that if you shoot a bad guy with one of the "Super Loads," and don't kill him, that his defense attorney will have a hay-day with you, IE: "You were Planning To Shoot Somebody, Judging By The Ammo In Your Gun..." and that we would be better off to just load our 45's with hardball ammo 'cuz it will still drop 'em like flies and the attorneys can't go there with you on the "Super Ammo..."

I don't know, just passing this along...
