Nice Springfield I have one that I carry almost everyday in the winter.

I also have a pair of Stainless 357 Vaqueros. They are great, and easy to slick up work on. Is it a new or old model?



Stay away far away. My little brother had one and it was a jamamatic. I wouldn't trust my life with it. I would suggest a 5 shot 38 Revolver
.

Perfect advice there and what I should have done in the first place like my brother suggested, who is a cop.

A smith 642 snubbie is nearly as light as the Kel Tec anyway and has a way nice trigger, and I am not aware of a more carried ccw by people who can carry anything and want something light and reliable.
Again, I gave the Kel Tec every opportunity to come around but it never failed to keep on failing.

Here is my Cimarron 1866 38spl. It has been slicked up, and a short stroke kit put in it. It is smoth as silk, and faster than me. It lookes no where near that good now with all the black powder shot out of it.


I will have to get some pics of my original Winchester 1897 take down shotgun blowing some black powder smoke.

I was notified today by one of my groomsmen that my wedding gift was a little earlier than expected. Due to the gun rush, he bought it when he saw it and had to ruin the surprise, because he needed me to go do the background check.

So..... I found out what's coming. It's small, it's black and it makes a lot of noise.

I'll post pics next week when it arrives in the shop. I'm a little anxious.

I tried the Kimber 1911 45 with the 4" barrel last week and it was nice and conceilable.
