Years ago I had a CCW, which I let lapse when my house filled with little tykes. Now the little tykes are gone, and being older and grayer, my bride and I are more of a target for hooligans so I'm applying for another CCW.
I still have the S&W 640 and Colt 1911 that were on my original CCW, I shoot them regularly and will probably put those on the application.
But times have changed and I'm wondering if I should I be looking at getting new hand gun?
What it comes down to is, do I depend on handguns I'm familiar and accurate with? Or do I part with a chunk of my fixed retirement income on pistols to take advantage of the latest technology?
I ask because I have to take a CCW pistol class and I'm fearful when instructors roll their eyes when my pistols are discussed ( my handguns have been very well cared for, btw.)
I did get to shoot a 9mm Glock and Beretta, and will probably try out Sigs and Smiths if given the chance, but so far, I'm far more accurate with the two handguns I already own.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
