Well....let's see....I started off in the 70's carrying a Browning High Power, and had that one for about 10 years. Moved from Washington to Arizona, and got into revolvers. Carried a snub for a few years.....got a Glock 19, which I still carry sometimes...and decided to keep the 9mm in the nightstand for home defense and back to carrying snub for CCW...just easier to hide...and no reliability issues.
