I carried this for duty for many moons, never mind it only cost my Dad $56.50 when he bought it new in 1952. Guns are tools and you should carry the best you can afford be it a RIA or exotic custom worth mucho dinero. As long as it gets the job done, bottom line, that is all that matters. I was damn lucky my Dad saw fit to gift me the Colt, I could not have afforded it at the time and would have still been carrying the hand me down 4" Colt Cobra .38. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/GUNSMITHING/38Super005.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/GUNSMITHING/38Super006.jpg)
George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist. Read 1984 and then look around you!

With your back ground as a machinist you could build your very own $3,000 custom 1911 on the cheap. If I had the ability and access to a machine shop I would build my own 1911 as I have my own idea of what a custom 1911 should look like and be.
I could afford several top 1911s for what it would cost me to build a machine shop. If I still had access I would give it a spin. I have done a whole lot more complicated work that a 1911. Then I would build a left handed slide and see how fast they sold.

But even if I built them out of solid gold Bricktop would call it crap because his will always be better.

If I were a police officer of the desk, undercover, or detective species and the department allowed me to carry what I want, I would carry this: http://wilsoncombat.com/new/handgun-bill-wilson-carry.asp

So the truth about schitt top finely comes out? After his first post in this thread I knew it. He is Sugar Bear and Honey BooBoo is his bastid child. Right now he's snarling down his nose at ya'll, while cutting coupons with that fat nasty ass ol lady.
