I recently ran across this article from a 2013 issue of Backwoods Home magazine at the website.
It reminded me that sentiment and practicality are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Of late I’ve again been carrying an old favorite, the 1911 pistol, albeit in the more modern dress of my Wilson Combat SFT9. Accurate as heck, utterly reliable, carrying sixteen rounds of Winchester Ranger-T +P+ with a 127 grain jacketed hollowpoint, a 9mm with ballistics only 100 feet per second short of standard velocity for a .357 SIG. And it fits my hand perfectly.
What’s not to like?
