You might also be able to say the same thing about the pictured 50-round box of Remington hardball, lol.

Nice pistol!

I had a monster box containing five 50 round boxes of it in storage (must have had it for over ten years), and figured I'd break it up for a range trip. I've got lots of aluminum cased .45 ACP, but for this gun I only use real brass cased, quality, ammo. I save the aluminum crap for my Glock 21.

Do you like the open end (muzzle) of that holster? I prefer a closed end.

Doesn't bother me. In fact, it does what it's designed to do, which is to allow lint and dust to drop free rather than accumulate. What do you have against an open end?

I always thought it a good idea to have a closed end when working to avoid anything getting in the barrel and to protect the crown in case I take a spill. It's easy enough to tap out the holster every few days or weeks, if necessary.

EP Saddlery is just down the road from me and I went in a few weeks ago and they told me they could modify any of their rigs to have a closed end - no extra charge. My current holsters are all closed end and I've never had a problem with debris.
