Anybody else also thinking of getting out of 45 ACP?

This is my first revolver and I'm surprised I haven't learned about this model before. It looks like the dirty Harry model 29 but shoots very softly. The moon clips make it very easy to reload too.

I think it’s that huge N-frame (same frame as the Model 29 in 44 mag). Couple that with 45ACP and it’s a sweet shooting revolver!!

Moonclips: FWIW I’ve had good luck with EZ Moon Clips

 
If I had to do things over again, I’d probably just stick with 9 mm. That is mostly driver by my developing arthritis in my hands in my 50s and thinking that there will be a day .45 ACP might be too painful; not too bad yet. To date, I have still shot more .45 ACP than 9 mm. Love the cartridge but age rather than ammo price is causing me to shoot it much less than 9 mm. I won’t sell the .45 ACP pistols I own though. I don’t have an all steel one so I “might” get a 1911 long slide with brass grips to see how the recoil feels.
