Default Slid my 1990 Colt LW Commander into a holster for the first time today

I have shot this weapon enough to trust it as a carry weapon (was the first to do so a few years back after I found it unfired and bought it) but have never carried it, opting instead for very capable and ugly Glocks or Kahrs. I also have a Colt New Agent in .45 that I carry an awful lot and have worn well. But this weapon is just so nice that I have never wanted to carry it for fear of...what - I guess messing up the finish, bumping it or dinging it. But what the heck good is having a beautiful and functional weapon if I do not carry it.

Luckily I live in AZ and I can carry all the time. Time to carry this Colt.

This one I will keep forever and pass down, so maybe "Dad" (me) ought to put some patina on it.

Just thought I would share. You probably have one of these "too nice to carry" guns in your safe too.

Happy Shooting
