Good advice. I have read that before and was told the same by a cousin who was a county mounty.

I currently carry Hydrashocks in my 9mm and Gold Dots in My 45 ACP. I have also been looking at the 45GAP (Glock).

RA. I do love the 45 and have always had one of some kind. I have a Ruger right now which shoots well and never malfunctions. So far anyway. I have owned four 1911's all but one were build up SP Armaries. I sterted with a Auto Ord which worked great as well after I put in a SA barrel and had the slide tightened. I like the Kimbers but they are just to much money for a retired guy.
