My favorite carry weapon is a Para Ordnance P12 1911 A1. Second choice is a Smith & Wesson model 19. They haven't made the latter since the seventies if I'm not mistaken but it is still a good weapon.
Glock 32 here, 14 ready to go + 13 in the backup mag..
And it’ll roar and scare the hell out of anyone even close. 357 Sig is intense.
All I have is a SW Model 10-8 38 special with a 4inch barrel. It was a Silver Anniversay piece my step-mother purchased for my father when he reached 25 years of service with the CA Dept of Corrections. I’ve been wanting to purchase a semi-auto, but haven’t been able to afford the weapon I want yet - everytime I turn around one of my kids or cars requires lots of money.
