Sorry CM, but I've got to throw the BS flag on that statement. They didn't have 1911s back in 1850.
I do need to adjust my carry/shoot routine somewhat. My plan for this year has been to focus on a narrow couple of pistols for carry (P10, G23, G30) and to have two of each, one for the range and one for the holster. I've achieved that but am thinking that I need to rotate the range/carry guns so both get exercised instead of one getting a high round count while the other does not get shot.
Excellent advice. Two is one and one is none. Having two of a preferred carry gun, and keeping the round count about the same, means you will never be without.
