i dont think that was exactly what the op meant. i read it as what whacker gear do you carry.
but since you posted it, make, model etc.

lol. It feeds nice and I love it. I'm a student and a part time EMT so I'm doubly poor. It was my first handgun 2ish years ago and my favorite. Had a Glock 19 and a Springfield XD for awhile but they were nothing like the RIA B)

then you have no excuse for buying an armscor turd.
wait, by any chance are you afflicted with multiple personalities? if so, smack the other one.
(note: im merely making a joke. i dont know you personally so if in fact you do have multiple personalities or any other psychiatric issues, i apoligize)

Hey KEV - With enough money, you can turn any decent 1911 into a real nice gun.
A friend of mine bought a used RIA 1911 and is slowly re-doing it into a functional carry piece... new ambi safety, new trigger, new guide rod, etc.
One of these days I'll do the same... because the 1911 is just cool.

thats sort of my point though jon. with enough polish, you can see your self in a turd, but you're still holding a turd.
a rock retails for 400ish. with 400 or 500 bucks worth of parts and smithing, it will run as well as a 1,000 kimber does right out of the box. with the kimber you're happy from day one; but while you're polishing that turd, you're not.
theres nothing wrong with rock island 45's. they are great for plinking, banging bowling pins, a great truck gun(if allowed by local law) etc. but they arent as good as every other gun out there.
either way, carrying a concealed weapon is all about what you are comfrtable with so who the heck am i to dog on someone elses pick........

Tell me about it.
Then again:
You seem to be having one of those days, too.
We can all suprise ourselves, can't we.
PS... the other thing about doing it yourself, is that then you get to CUSTOMIZE it... not just buy a factory Kimber... that way, everything is "yours". That's why my friend likes that idea.

The Glock may run like a Germanic time piece but Gaston would have been nowhere with out J.M. Browning. The bottom line is, does it go bang when you squeeze the trigger, and does the bullet go where you aimed it.
I conceed the Glocks are well made and tend to work well, but are still fugly
in my opinion. Personally I prefer the classic lines of a Hi Power.

I used to carry the glock 9mm but it made me nervous cause I wanted one in the chamber and I worried about the possible misfire. Now I have a springfield XD 40mm and I love it.
I also got a concealed carry permit. I don't want to entice anyone to try and take my weapon from me and I sure wouldn't want to give advance warning that I have one. I hope I never have to use it but I will if I have to.

thats working out real well in places like australia, england etc.
that gun laws in canada are just plain asinine to the point of being laughable. since that what you grew up with, i dont expect you to understand. i though massachusetts gun laws were bad until i read into canadas....
Well honestly I think an EMS needing to carry a concealed weapon as asinine. You speak of our gun laws but I have never once touched a gun seen a gun or heard a gun fired. I have seen a few hunting rifles locked securely in cabinets but that is is, also while you are research our gun laws research the amout of gun related deaths in Canada, and compare that to the United States and even after you factor in the population difference I think you will ee a considerable difference.
You know I am clearly not making any friends on here, I get flamed for not search before I post and am insulted for simply saying my opinion so I do not think I am going to frequent these forums anymore they seem to be much less a point of insight and much more a place for certain individuals to inflate their egos. This is my final post I bid you all a due.
