Kimber Ultra Eclipse ii, custom worked by Wilson Combat, Simonich Gunner Grips, and Tripp Research Cobra Magazines.
That works really well in some areas or institutions perhaps. Not so much in others
I almost never carry when not working, but at my family's ranch in the Sierra foothills, which is huge, and has both a population of wild pigs that have seriously injured some workers and visits by copper and metal thieves from gangs in the San Joaquim Valley, I always have a Freedom Arms Model 83 .41 Rem Mag w/a 7 1/2".
I don't have to quick draw on anyone, so that's not a factor, it's big, heavy and accurate as all hell, I can kill pigs from the cabin of a vehicle w/out busting eardrums and the only time I've ever gone guns-up on anyone with it, the intimidation factor was like something out of a 70s cop movie.
It was a gift from a relative. I never would have bought something like this, totally impractical for urban use, but I'm happy to point at things that need pointing at.
Still, that kind of money for a damned revolver is just stupid.
If only MD wasn't a May Issue state...
I only carry keychain pepperspray, sometimes a pocket knife and if I have my bag a stun gun.
I believe schools have banned it.
have you done anything to it? some of the stock series 70s Colts don't feed hollow points well. other than my grandfather's WWI Issue Colt, all of my 1911s have beavertail grip safeties.
Mine is still stock. I would like to get black grips for it so it will be invisible while hanging over my handle bars.
It loads hollow points just fine as long as I use my 7 or 8 shot magazines. I think that my 15 shot mags loose spring strength if left fully loaded. The 4th or 5th bullet will need my finger to coax it into position. Those are third party mags, so that may be the problem. They work fine if I wait and load them before heading to the range.
Yes, it's a 'sure-grip' safety.
Yeah, kids aren't supposed to be carrying guns around because parents will sue.

The only time I carry is when I'm in the woods hiking and this comes with me in 44 special.
If I felt the need around town I suppose I'd throw my SP101 (.357) in a coat pocket.
over kids pointing fingers as if they are guns?
Some kids have magnum level fingers.

With the degree of unnatural paranoia schools exhibit they are afraid somebody will sue after passing out at the sight of a gun or finger in mock imitation.
Lots of sick people out there who should not be having children
