I still shoot my 45s regularly but at age 60 I find the 9 a lot easier to shoot long strings with without waking up with seized shoulders and sore wrists. By long strings I mean 250 or more rounds per range session. I tend to train with what I use defensively unless I am at a match so heavy +P 45 or 115 +P 9 is the norm. A 200gr Berry's RN ahead of 4.3 Bullseye cycles every 45 I own and a 115gr Berry's RN ahead of 3.9 Bullseye I can shoot until my arms get sore from holding my stance.
