Not a dinosaur but I am a Life Member of SNM-Sons of Neanderthal Man.
No aluminum, titanium, polymer for me. Steel and Walnut-OK, Steel and Rubber on a stainless steel gun.
I have no CCW, live in a state where they are VERY hard to get. Were I to get one, my sidearm will be solid steel. Always thought if you feel the weight when you carry it you will feel the weight when you fire it. And if you are that sensitive to weight when you "pack iron", then you need to start "pumping iron".

In the last couple of years I started buying stainless S&Ws. Should have started sooner.
But, when it comes to semi-autos I still believe the Colt M1911 or M1911A1 is the only way to go, or a good clone. In .45 Auto of course.
Last but not least I still think the "right" girl in a pair of tight Wrangler jeans or Levi 501s is better than any girl wearing anything else....or less.

I will give you a for-instance.............
When someone says revolver, I immediately think of a S&W older style (pre 1994) gun.
When someone says Pheasant Hunting gun I think of a Browning Superposed, Browning A5, or a Remington 1100.
When someone says Auto Loader or Semi Auto, the picture in my mind is a Colt 1911 Gov't, Model or Gold Cup.
When someone says Military Rifle I think of an M1 Garand or M1 Carbine.
If one of the younger guys in my club asks me for a holster recommendation, the word "Kydex" NEVER would enter my mind.
So on and so forth...........
So am I alone here or are there some other "Dinosaurs" out there as well??
