His was a 9mm. Look on the frame it says Kimber MF9 that and the fact I got to shoot it when Ben lived down the road from me.

Incorrect. This gun is only made in .45. Here's Kimber's page for this model: http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911/co...ltra-covert-ii

It was a .45. Look more closely. It says Kimber MFG. Not MF9. Plus, if you look very carefully, you can see the .45 ACP stamp on the top of the barrel at the slide ejection port. Come to think of it, I didn't own any 9mm's, Mike. How've you been anyway? Long time no speak!

Living in LA or frisco county is much harder to get CCW's compared to sac county. Well it was hard but our new sheriff made it easier for us to get it. Although it will take almost a year to get one cause so many people are getting ccw's.

placed an order for a Springfield 1911 Loaded 9mm

Speaking of FN, have you shot the FNP-45? This used to be my designated nightstand gun. 15 rounds of .45 at the ready.

<Insert drool smilie here> Haven't shot one, but they always catch my eye. I have seen them with a Trijicon RMR installed which really tips the scales to it. I assume the FN quality is every bit as good as H&K.(?)

Very nice.

Damn! I feel sorry for the fool that breaks into your house when you are home. Dual-wielding Matrix-style smackdown for him!

Galco is one of the bigger names for holsters... they make a ton of stuff.

Agreed. Galco is probably the biggest name when it comes to holsters. Here's their website if you haven't already seen it, BlackZeda: Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

I personally carried with a Crossbreed QwikClip holster though. I also had a SuperTuck. And you might also want to look at Comp-Tac's line. I had a bunch of those as well (the Infidel, in particular).

Galco...check.
Crossbreed...check.
Comp-Tac...check.

It is good to have knowledge before going into one of these goofy gun shows. Otherwise you will be stuck there for hours with all the smelly gun-nerds that don't take showers...You guys know the type

Although suprisingly there is the occasional super-smoking hot gun-chick wearing the tight jeans and spaghetti string tank top walking around (with their Marine or Neo-Nazi boyfriend

).

I agree, especially about that last part.

There are some really weird corners of the gun show here. Probably not safe for an Asian like me.
