Anyone who cannot carry a full sized steel 1911 and two extra mags all day every day is just a wimp!
What about a Model 29 and two extra speed loaders....
Almost as good. However I read earlier on this topic where a 45-70 hit through the lungs of a deer and you will have to track it for hundreds of yards. If a 45-70 won't kill then what are the chances with just a lowly Model 29?
