[QUOTE="NINEROUND, post: 1684035, member: 17429"] I guess opinions on this are as various as the day is long. Depending on what your skill level is, it doesn't matter what your carry preference is. I guess the intent was just to see how many folks carry older, less modern designs a la the 1911a1, Browning HP, or any of the S&W and/or Colt revos for self defense, either as a daily carry or just to switch it up on occassion. I understand that most consider super hi cap mags, night sights, and laser/light mounts to be an advantage. I just feel a sense of nostalgia sometimes that persuades me to go with the older designs. The Springer that I have really only lacks the larger sights that have become vogue for defensive use. Other than that, there hasn't been a design improvement, per se, to the 1911 in about 75+ years. DA revolvers have really remained unchanged since their inception and small wheelguns still sell for defensive purposes at a steady pace. Just wondering if anyone else feels that same sense of nostaglia, or if everyone is consumed with the newest-greatest. [/QUOTE]
