My Old Man's sidearm he carried in WWII that he gave me before he passed is my love and joy, a Singer Colt .45. I take it out of the gun safe check it over everyonce in awhile, wipe it down think about the Old Manthen then but back. My second gun that I carry is a used worn older Kimber. The blueing is little worn and there a few scratches but she is a real tac driver.
