Lately I have developed a dislike of plastic handguns. I have also developed a like of stainless.
I recently traded a couple of KAHRS, the CW45 and CT380 for a KAHR MK9.
I think today I am going to trade a couple of Ruger LCR's for a Kimber K6s.
I started carrying polymer in the last 7 or 8 years. Only during the past year or so, I decided I really didn't like plastic guns. Honestly, I dont think I ever liked them, just that the light weight was a plus for carry. I'm getting old. I grew up on steel. Just going back to my roots I guess.
Nice looking holster. I have one ordered from MTR Custom Leather that looks remarkably similar.
This is probably what spurs me the most. I will get to hand down something worth a little bit of something to my children.I will certainly say that my poly frame handguns aren’t ones destined for heirloom status, but they carry and operate exactly as I expect them to.
Now the blued steel (or stainless) and walnut handguns? Those are ones that can be cherished and handed down again and again...
Nah, Bogart just has a lot of suits to wearI have never liked plastic handguns, but that's what I carry.
The other day I watched Humphrey Bogart pull a parkerized 1911 out of his suit pocket. So much nicer than a Glock. But the Glock works better.
How do you carry a 1911 government model in a suit pocket? So many guys in old movies did that. If I put anything that heavy in a suit pocket, I would expect it to rip the lining out of the jacket after about two hours. I guess it helps if you only carry it while filming scenes and then you get to hand it to the prop girl.
