The carrying of a concealed Pistol, in this day and age, is an everyday privilege in Florida. That is in the other Countries I have resided in, is not available at all.
The UK/Germany/Australia/Canada/ and finally Gods Country, this United States of America. We, the Gun Culture, waffle back and forth, as to calibre, and capacity, and do we carry spare ammunition, and how.
I was first a 45 ACP person, a Colt LW 9 round capacity, with a MacCormick 8 round capacity stainless steel magazine. Not a bad choice I thought.
Falling under the 9mm spell, first a Browning High Power, then Gaston Glock's plastic marvel, the Model G17, followed by my all-time favourite, and final, my Glock 19 4th generation. Modified a little. Night sights extended slide lock or rather release! Flush-fit butt plug (helps in magazine changes) replaced the lined trigger it came with, for a smooth one, a minor internal polishing job.
Giving me a 4.5lb release. Tried the new slim model, the 43X? Soon changed back to the 19! A creature of habit? So many Special Forces and Police seem to have gone that way? Not that really influenced me, I just like it, and shoot it the best.
As I have been retired for quite a while, at 85 YOA! At 6-30am, I am going to snuggle in for a couple more hours. Can't be bad! And we have both had both of our shots "Vacxinnes" also!
