Yes, I hope most of us do both.....

Personally I carry a 5" 1911 in .45 acp ....and I shoot the same model, same mfg gun ...in a 9mm ( 5" 1911 ) to keep my practice ammo more affordable....
and while I shoot some .45 acp ( RN, FMJ as well ) ....I don't shoot the more expensive 230gr Hydra Shok defensive ammo - except once every 3 or 4 yrs - to make sure its still running 100% in the gun.....

I try to practice with about 6 - 8 boxes a week ( 300 - 400 rds ) with some tactical drills ( double taps, etc / reload drills, .....)....
