Ive always carried full sized handguns, and done so my whole life. 1911's, P220's, P226's, Glock 17's etc.The thread is in regards to SD/CCW pistols, specifically, but not limited to, the .45 ACP chambering.
While arguably a better HD choice, how many will actually CC/IWB a G30, over a small compact/sub-compact, because they shoot it better?
I shoot the 1911-A1 better, but I gladly carry the G36.
As for "FBI Qualification Course," the 1911-A1 was used as a known quantity benchmark, for power and effectiveness in the SD environment, as the threat wouldn't know the difference.

I carry a 26 as a back up to my 17 these days, and in a deeper concealment type holster.
Im not seeing how the 30 or 36 would be any different there, as if I were to carry one, it would likely be in the same place as my 26.
Why give up your "full size" handgun, especially if you shoot it best?
