If I had grown up shooting high capacity, light weight, plastic autos, there'd be no way you could talk me into carrying a gun that weighs almost twice as much, and carries less than half the ammo.

But I didn't. I'm 56, and I grew up shooting revolvers, mostly, and being taught that if you do it correctly, you should have 5 shots left when you're done. And, I like knowing I'm carrying something that's true quality. Plastic just doesn't say "quality" like a well-made revolver.

I do carry an auto, occasionally, but it's old school, too, a Model 39.

I will admit, though, that when I shoot my friend's Glock, I always wonder why I don't have one yet. It would be a tucked away, emergency survival tool, not to be carried on a daily basis. I still haven't forced myself to part with the money for one of those, though. Apparently, I don't want one bad enough.
