My first handgun ever was a Colt lightweight Commander in 9mm. I remember being at Slide Rock (Sedona,Arizona) in the late 60's before it was a National Park and seeing my first mountain lion only 50 feet away. I remember thinking I should have bought the 45 but was told it was more likely to crack the frame.Shortly later while in NYC I bought a Colt Trooper MK III because the Python at $250 was out of my budget. I paid $125 for the Trooper and as it saved my life twice it was well worth it.
