anyone reading this is free to answer.. i would love to hear responses

I remember when the owner of a range i used to go to told me i should never carry my stainless steel 1911 and i asked why.. he said because anybody can see that big shiny thing when you pull it out.. you are already at a disadvantage .. i listened and i only carry that gun to the range in a case

you may not like the delivery of Unbroken's message, but he is right in my opinion

but for consistency and to show i'm not attacking you since everyone on this forum is super sensitive.. here are my prior posts

What safe top are you talking about? I've seen the Center Console Lock Vault, but they make the console a lot less useful and I'm not a big fan of the lock on them. Seems to be the case with all of them that I've found.
