I love guns. I started shooting back in 1960 and started reloading in 1967. Currently my 2 carry are S&W shield 45 (which is my backup), but my main EDC which goes with me everywhere is my Colt Combat Commander 45. And yes I do reload for it. I also love 9mils. I really love the 1911's but my shield was a buy for carry of a backup. I love very heavy guns, even for carry. I would carry a 5" if I had enough room in my pants . My Combat is the max that I can carry with comfort. I practice a lot. I found it cheaper to pay a yearly fee than to pay as I go. I even freakin repair my targets to save money. I do love revolvers but I don't have any due to wanting to practice with what I carry. Of rifles, I love, I really mean love the M1 Carbine, but I have shot and maintained many different rifles and pistols, it is the M1 and the 1911's that give me a woody, oh yeah
