Thanks for the backup, Squantos -- you know more than I do about these things. I've only had to draw down on bad guys twice in my life, and it worked great, since both times they just hauled a$$ so fast it was surreal. And on one of those occasions, the firearm wasn't even loaded!

Your personal situation and actions aside , respectfully, I made myself a hard and fast rule that no human being would ever be able to "tell" anyone what my primary self defense firearm looked like.

I once witnessed a mans life ruined, personally and financially . A POS liar claimed he brandished his weapon and threatened him. The liar knew my friend carried and used it against him in a personal vendetta.

Call it extream but , none of my local friends or family know the "color", type or make of my "carry" sidearm. I have an identical (exact except "color") handgun that I use for practice and training. My carry gun would get me run off a range as it's "neon" finish and color is not one that such a liar would easily guess I was carrying if they tried such with me. They "will" die laughing per se :o)

I like to "think " I have all the avenues and possibilities covered .......but realize there is always a better way and something new to learn. That's why I like these FR gun threads so much !

Stay Safe !
