Way back, bout 99, I saw an ad from a retired LEO who had several guns for sale. I ended up buying 3 but I don't remember what 2 of them were. The third was a CA 44 special, 3" barrel, Stratford, Conn. That was the one that get me started on 44 special for CCW.
Just an awesome gun. I just slip it into my front right pocket and no one knows it's there. I was talking to a couple of San Antonio LEO's in Academy onetime and they asked if I carried. I answer yes, and then asked if they could spot it. They couldn't so I was content.
Now we are going to open carry on 1 Jan. and if I do open carry, it will prob. be that 44
