Born in '51, so carrying a legal pistol wasnt an issue until 1970. In the event I carried a couple .22's/.22mag and a Ruger Old Army. Yes, big and bad and I was "known" for it. When I got a security job I got hold of a Victory Model M&P in .38. Just carryin the thing embarrassed me so I got a Colt Python.. Then I was introduced to the Colt Combat Commander and the rest is history, along with a BHP. Forgot, I also got a S&W model 39 9mm before the Commander. The dealer I traded it to could hardly stop drooling and rubbin his hands together...
