In the early 1970's and I began my L.E. career and I carried a all steel Colt Commander, in 45 a.c.p. of course....fast forward 20 years and I finally accepted an aluminum framed 1911.....now 20 more years later I bought a Glock 30SF.....have not fired it yet, only got it today and it is raining cats and dogs.......it points well and I like the feel....but it is not a pretty gun!
