Thank you all VERY much for some good thoughts. It was a Springfield Armory that I used yesterday. At this point, not concentrating on concealed carry, and from watching threads on here, guns are like motorcycles (for most of us): Gonna have more than one, because no one machine (gun) will fit the bill for all that I want to do. Will check out Old English and Vandalia Tactical, too, for points of reference. Thanks again, very appreciated.
