Gave my Kimber pro carry stainless away to my brother the Pararescueman. I figured with a bunch of kids and still on USAF active duty pay he'd never have something that nice for hisself and I have a few 1911's anyway. I'll buy another one someday.

Right now I have a commander sized custom meldown built up on a Springfield Armory frame and slide . Barry Mowery in Albuquerque New Mexico built that for me and Jim Clark did the meltdown. Pretty much a day to day carry unless deep conceilment is needed. Then a SIG 239 or a S&W Performance center 640 snub gets the call.

Albeit the 10MM does IMHO make a dandy common caliber for urban / city needs . Kinda like a modern version of the old 1873 winchester and the Colt SAA 44-40. May have to get such a "set" for just that reason. Wonder if Ruger's little carbines are made to take the glock magazines ?

Stay Safe RR !

You got about a billion-billion karma points for that selfless act.

The 1911 is just the ne plus ultra in self defense.

The Glock is a close second.

All of the above is just my experienced opinion. :)

No one has to take me seriously, and if things go wrong, don't bother to sue me, I have shallow pockets.
