First pistol I bought was a Rossi snub nose .357, mostly because cash was an issue (although its a darn fine reliable revolver). Carried it for a while, didn't have any second thoughts about it being able to get the job done. And I could buy cheaper .38's for practice.
However I have always loved 1911's. The pistol served this country well for most of the 20th century, so its definately good enough for me. So once I got the cash together I bought one, which is what I now carry, in .45 of course. I can shoot it accurately, and it carries well with the right rig.
I've always been of the mindset of carry as much gun as you can comfortably. Besides, as Boris the Blade says "Weight is a sign of reliability, and if it doesn't work, you can always hit them with it."
