What you southern boys have are armor plated pygmy gators!! My grandmother was from E. Texas. She never had any love for those ill tempered, ugly reptilian anachronisms from the Cretaceous period.

On topic, I carry a Beretta 96A1 in the sticks. However, I'm in the process of buying one of the new 586 'Classics' which is LNIB. That too will have some field use.
