I carried Cocked and Locked for over 10 years. first with a CZ75 Pre-B then a Colt Series 70 1911 in stock trim. Never Once did I have an issue.
I had the same concern as you in the beginning, but after a month it was very natural.
I now carry a G22, but some days I really miss my old 1911.
I have a simple rule. Once I stop enjoying it, I stop. But the biggest killer for me is muzzle blast. That is quite a problem with short barrled magnum revolvers with full house loads. One of the worst I shot was a 1.75" ported barrel 357 magnum with hot 125 gr rounds in an indoor range. You...
Find the one that you can shoot well and enjoy shooting. This meanss you will practice more and hit what you shoot at if it ever comes down to it. The rest is details.

I use truncated code bullets and the OAL I use is 28,8 mm to the "fllaptop" of the bullet. That translates to about 1,1339". It is in a Glock 22 though, but it should not make much difference. I load for about 950 fps with 180gr bullets.
Nr 1 to 10 of CC is to have a gun that you can shoot well on you 99.999% of the time.
The rest is details.
I have not done rereach but I be surpirsed to see that a civilian self defence shoot has more than 4 shots fired.
At the moment I have only one handgun, a Glock 22.
It is my CCW and I shoot in Standard class in IPSC.
It works every time and I do not have to baby it.
And the Glock 22 is light to carry all day. I find it easy to shoot.
But you will have to decide what you want from the handgun.
Aah nothing happening on the forum. Time to go wash the dishes....
I used to subscribe to the MAC youtube channel. But then I starting seeing trend. If it is not made in the USA it is not good enough. So I stopped taking anything he said seriously.
