I honestly can't remember when I started carrying. Used to open carry a Ruger security six to go snake hunting with friends at sixteen. Went in the Navy at 19 and when I landed in Wa. state in 78' got my 1st CCW. So what's that Hmmm... 36? To damn long ago to remember... anyway I've always had a soft spot for the 1911, packed a variety of iron but always come back to the best.
