 What is it that people are carrying for their daily carry gun ? I had 1911s and wanted something in a 9mm , so I got the HiPower. That is a really good hand gun but just as heavy as the 1911s . I found a Springfield Armory EMP 3"  Ronin in 9mm and liked that one, but decided to get something even smaller , that was the Kimber Micro 9. Well , the Kimber is a bit too small , that one is hard for me to hold onto and the trigger was terrible ,I got the Mcarbo spring kit put in and it was better , I will keep it for a backup or loaner

   I am kind of a gun guy I like shooting it is an interesting and challenging hobby . Lately I have been into pistols .Some are fascinating to me in the design and workmanship involved. Some do not grab my interest even a little. I do not get the "Judge "  revolvers . The ones that will take .45 ACP , .45 Long Colt and .410 bore as well. I sort of get the ability to use more than one kind  ammunition could be a plus , but those are just not my cup of tea. The Derringers are another pistol that I have no interest in . Too short too small  ,too limited , maybe if I decide to be a riverboat gambler some day. and the tiny .22 revolvers are in the same category they are just enough gun to get you into real trouble but not get you out of it. The little cheap small caliber semiautomatic pistols are not in my wheelhouse either . No Jennings or Ravens here , I can save up for a little better quality hardware .

  I saw the Dr. yesterday , the shoulder is messed up but might hold together for a while yet . I will be off through next week to let the steroids do their job and give the inflammation time to subside .  It has been really smoky here the last couple days . The fires in Mn. and Ottawa are generating lots of smoke that is drifting this way. It will also be hot again, and all the smog in the air on top of a 90+ degree day makes an ugly day .
