My first hand gun was a colt trooper I found in a pawn shop in mid seventy"s for $160.00, I reget selling it some years later. I watch the youtube vids on the hi cap nines and find myself wanting one, but end up being happy with my 638 after thinking about it. I carry concealed and don't go to a public range so no one knows what I have on, until I need it, then you will know.
