Jeed, you have a nice Savage collecton. I just added my 5th to my collection. It is a Model 1915 I never thought I would have, but here it is! I'm sorry, but I disagree with your caution about carrying the Savage pistol. Personally, I wouldn't own a firearm I didn't consider safe, and afraid to carry. All my Savages are A-1, in excellent mechanical shape, and I wouldn't hesitate to carry them anywhere, loaded but with the safety on, of course.
