Pachmayr Compacs are good comfortable grips.

No problem with the term here and I was born in 1950.

If you don't insist on mountains, I'd suggest Kansas or Oklahoma. Both are very pro-2A.

I'd probably be a fan if I could get one. Especially the 619.

The gun that I carry the most is my S&W Model 986 9mm revolver. It is loaded with Federal Hydra-Shoks, but I carry two or three moonclips of FMJ in my pockets should they be needed.
