THE BROWNING HIGH POWER

The High Power is the only sidearm that was used by both sides in WW2 - Germany used many Belgium HPs  while the Allies used HPs manufactured mostly in Canada by Inglis. Clones of the HP are still manufactured around the world, such as the Hungarian FEG 9, and the Bulgarian Arcus.

KEL-TECS
Recently, I added a Kel-Tec 32 caliber to my ever increasing arsenal of carry guns.  The 9mm rides on my hip and 32 sits I my right front pocket.  Fully loaded, these two pistols weigh only 22 ounces together. Sometimes I have to check to make sure they are still there.

CUSTOM CARRY PROTECTION 
People buy carry guns with the hopes that they will  never have to use them.  The reality is, it's the anticipation is that they might need them. Tailoring a carry firearm to the individual is more critical, than tailoring a target firearm to an individual's needs.  The stakes are higher.
