That .45 coming out of a short barrel may not be lethal instantly, but it will seriously injure, knock down and cause numerous regrets and second thoughts in your adversary. As I'm sure you already know, practice and shot placement are two of our greatest allies in a gunfight. I say shoot it and carry it with confidence.
I feel the same about the .380 and although I can hit with my LCP, I'm not all that fond of it. I hope to get a Sig P238 in the future. So .45 when I have the large pocket and .380 for the smaller pocket.
Today I can hit better on the first shot with the .45 over all my revolvers but, Since the .45 requires releasing a safety, that is one step before firing. Cocking my double action Ruger would also be one step before firing.
So almost equal. The thing is weird. at contact distance I'd prefer a LCR revolver. At aiming distance I'd prefer the .45..
Last night we put the Laserlyte trainer in the barrel and were hitting the top of a cactus with the laser dot at 50 yards plus.
That is how good the trigger is.
