Carry concealed everyday? Colt 1903. Good enough for Bogey.
If not that then a snobby revolver. |

I actually do carry a 1903 pocket hemmerless kind of a lot, so probably that. This one has the hammer and firing pin updated to the 1927 pattern drop safe versions, I made a tall front sight, cut the rear out for Novaks, extended safety, and threaded barrel. Carries well, shoots like a laser, negligible recoil, boringly reliable, and a great suppressor host.

OP did not think this through. Of course everyone picks the 1911, given its track record. That includes the dudes carrying a 1911 in 2023. Lol.
Edit- I would take the 1911 |

I do that now half the time.

The one still carried in 2023 is the 1911. Some are masterpieces of machinery. Just fondled two Staccatos that left me breathless and wanting a 2011 now.

Well, I already carry a 1911 (although not one that was made in 1945 or before), so I'd definitely pick that.

If that's an original idea, bravo. If it's a copycat (like mine would be if I had one) worthy mimic. |
