IIRC, DE's were originally designed for crews that needed a powerful but small weapon. You could store it in your tank, and pull it out when needed. Never really caught on, but thanks to Hollywood everyone wants one now.
I'm with you on this one. I LOVE my 1911. As far as a 3/4 load in the DE why bother, save the cash buy a .45 or .44 mag and run factory loads.
