I saw old Hickok45 do a video of one on YouTube. You could hear the reverence in his voice for it, that's for sure.
I'm partial to the .45ACP round, myself. I used to carry a Sig P238 everywhere cause it's just so darn easy to conceal. But dang, there's some situations out there where'd you just get laughed at for a barrel hole that small if you know what I mean. I figure a roughly 1/2" hole with the laser from a Crimson Trace Grip will be a lot more convincing.
I'm like you. The world's too crazy and people too unpredictable to not carry everywhere you go.
Heck, I keep one in the kitchen. I love to cook, and at first my (new) wife looked at me and chuckled about it, but now she's used to seeing pistols, rifles, shotguns, you name it.
Wouldn't be without 'em.
Thanks for posting!
