Welcome aboard Dusty. You are my kind of guy. 1911 carry.
Not a traveller though. Never been anywhere or done anything more exciting than load, shoot, reload so I can shoot some more. Hurry home safely.

Tim, 49 and married to Patti for 30 years come December. Had CHL in 1998 to 2002 but due to the job (Paramedic) never was able to recertify till this month. I'm gonna carry a Kimber Ultra Carry II Stainless. Carried a Colt 1991 A1 Combat Commander last time and a Glock 36. I loved the Colt but it was too heavy for a CCW and the Glock was so light I couldn't control it. The Kimber has turned out to be the perfect pistol. I shot a perfect score on my test with it something I could never do with the Colt or the Glock.

Prove your weapon...no one has ever died from a loud fast noise.

Most men talk a .45 shoot a 9mm and carry a .38.
