Another vote for the Walther TPH
The TPH is just like a gun, only smaller. It has excellent quality and accuracy, if one can live with the dinky sights. I have much better choices at my disposal for CCW, so I have only carried this in very special situations, but I have owned one of these in...
I am an occupational therapist who performs orthopedic rehabilitation care for persons with a wide range of "bone issues." Surgeon's with whom I have been associated over the years have allowed me into the operating room many times for a number of patients over the years.

Must a handgun have particular collector value to warrant a factory letter? What is the current cost? How to apply for one? How long to process? Is Colt doing them, or the Cody museum? Thanks.

I've had exactly the same experience, and more than once, using a Galco fanny pack, which I otherwise really like and use daily. I too keep the 1911 in condition two in the fanny pack.
Regarding the extended thumb safety, my carry gun has one (Wilson). However I have been extensively...
Lots of decisions to make!
All of the advice you have received thus far has been sound. In particular the recommendations for the Sig P225/P6 police trade in and the old standby S&W Model 10 .38 Special get my strong support. Superb quality and great reputations in either case.
My $.02 is...
Check your grip
The same thing happened to me -- with great frequency -- when I got professional instruction that advocated the isoceles stance in lieu of the Weaver for close -range speed. My thumbs tended to both point forward (I'm right handed) and the left thumb would frequently trip the...
Have located a field grade, featherweight Elsie in 20 gauge, about 20% finish for the metal, and zero for the wood, although the wood is sound. Looks like somebody was getting ready to refinish the gun, but got stopped before irreparable harm was done. Locks tight, bore excellent and the...
Crossdraws work well for people with shoulder injuries to the dominant side (e.g.; rotator cuff tears).
When I feel the need for a crossdraw, I use a shoulder holster.

Skip buying a few guns now, if you need to, but get the biggest one you can afford. You will fill it quickly. Think about the other (non gun) stuff that will be better off in a safe.
Reality is for people who can't face science fiction. (The poor, benighted souls).
Folks (cops) have also lived because a BG who grabbed their guns didn't know how the safety worked, giving time to get to a BUG.
The thread on .44 cast bullets got me thinking about problems I've had with leading, but I didn't want to hijack that thread.
When I bought my S&W Model 24 (about 1988 as I recall) I used it for the first 1,500 rounds or so with 17.5 grains of 2400 under a commercially-cast 240-grain LSWC...
The project you describes looks like more work - with a potentially less than satisfactory outcome - than re-barreling. Also, selling the old barrel might make financial sense in offsetting the cost of a new one.
If you do go ahead with plugging it, let us know how it comes out. (I...
