I still hump my Gold Cup (my main carry has K-38 sights) which Jim Hoag
customized for me in 1978. I carry it in a front pack just about everywhere
I go. I just can't see packing a short or light weight version since the
difference (to me) isn't that much. If I did go to a lightweight, I think it
would be a Kimber Super Carry since it has most of the modifications I like.
Until then, my warm live hands are going to stay wrapped around my Gold
Cups.

On duty for my last 18 years I carried a Glock 22 or 23. I have owned a Colt
1991 Commander standard subdued finish with stock grips and 8 round mags.
with Federal Hydro Shock rounds. Once I retired my .45 is my primary
firearm.
