I was born during the administration of Herbert Hoover.

Gun handling does not mature for the best with age as does wine and cheese.

Choice of sidearms do change as one’s physical and mental abilities diminish.

My side arm weapons of choice throughout the years has moved from the 1911 government size pistols to compact autoloaders and now at my advanced age to the 9mm Shield.

I am able to carry the Shield today with the same confidence as I did the 1911 Colt in 1948. The difference being my ability today to better control the smaller pistol on my body and when in the act of shooting.
