Re: OT--- possible new carry gun (range trip pics posted)

Streetstar that's a near perfect carry gun that you have there. I prefer the bigger stuff and use a good holster. So the gun is always at the same place. My first choice is the Para Ordnance C745 45 ACP. Very accurate and small enough for me. http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee248/SwissRavenman/IM...
