Howdy from the Scorpion Ranch. I noticed you stated you have been in the Army for the better part of seventeen years. I know the first 20 are the hardest and the last is easiest, but, all how ya look at it, right. Have three sizes of 1911’s, all Kimber, however, depending on time, location (Place) I might take a Glock in .40 S&W. Not many bears around here, lots of two and four legged dear. Noticed you have handloding on your stats. I too enjoy the powder pouring and such. The casting, well now, in the early 1980’s I found out the hard way that is not my style. As Dirty Harry once stated, “A man has to know his limitations” or some such thing. I do favor the 45 acp over the 40’s for loading and such.
