Put the money you saved in the bank........aaaaaaaaand it's gone! Seriously. I own and carry plastic and art. Depends on the situation. What I find is, and this is not a joke, I put the first round of a revolver dead on target 99% of the time. Not so with the plastic guns. Don't know why. Not going to burn a bunch of brain cells trying to figure it out. They just lay down and point better. You will own that revolver some day.
