Gang,
I am sure some of you have been down this road, and opinions are welcomed. I have thought for years about having a pistol built that would be my idea of the perfect carry gun. For me that would be a 1911 in my favorite caliber, preferred controls, finish, perfectly tuned, wearing Hakan's finest. Now I am not after opinions as to my choice, but rather the notion of carrying such a fine work. I have been more utilitarian in my carry items--nothing flashy, just functional. I hate to admit lately that has been a ..... Glock. I have also thought about the possibility of having to give up the pistol as evidence should it ever (God forbid) be used in self defense. Still, perhaps if one has to defend oneself it should be with the best firearm available to suit my purposes.
So what do you think? If I build my Excalibur, should I carry it? If not, I probably won't build. I have a safe full of pretty things already.
