All pros for me buddy. However, they are big and heavy. I happen to have big mitts and don't mind the weight. It's not going to be a carry piece unless you are Sonny Crocket from Miami Vice. Mine is extremely accurate and functions very reliably. I've won many a bowling pin shoot with mine for obvious reasons. Be ready to take chit from your 1911 lovin buddies, but always be ready to show them up with that great 4506. Excellent pistola as far as I'm concerned...
