Me id prob look for a excuse to buy a new gun.I dont own a 45.acpmyself either.Marginal round you mean?No nothing wrong with it at all that i know of . If you like your 9mm & 38,s & your 45. colt -you should like it to id think also. 45 acp hasgot a large frontal area/bullet dia. etc & heavy bullets going for it to.Me personally id prob take it over a 38 speical givin a choice i think - but i like 38,s to& they fit in my 357,s.& we have a lot of revolvers &the mate shelikes her38 snubys(2nd one for her).
