“…big bore cartridges…” Be still my beating heart.
I bought the H&K 45C after I moved down to Florida. Was going to use it for home defense but opted for other handguns down the line. Shot it once at the range then put it in the safe. The gun comes with 1 or 2 spare barrel O rings to keep the barrel aligned with the slide when firing making it more accurite.
