Day has come to bump up CCW level....

Woke him up this morning and let Mr.XDE .45 ACP sleep in. The Alaskan will be my carry thru the Winter and Spring and most likely beyond.
The 250 gr. XTP at 1100 FPS out of this revolver is the starter load for HD .45 Colt and a very comfortable shooting load in this thing. Much more to come.
Did our 1 mile dog walk this morning and didn't notice the extra weight at all over my Springfield XDE .45 ACP.

Nice! I guess you are a "lefty"?

Left handed yes but can shoot good with right hand too. Shoot rifles right handed.

Pulled out an old M1 Carbine mag and with slight modifications makes a good speed loader for revolvers. It can carry 6 Colt 45 rounds and use light thumb pressure to shove them into cylinder.

I can shoot equally bad right or left handed. Nice looking DA.

If I had the bucks, I'd be packin' this really cool lookin' Desert Eagle in .50 AE I saw yesterday at the PX gun counter:

Only thing about carrying one of the gold Desert Eagles...you have to hold them horizontal to shoot them properly. I don't know why, but in pictures you never see the pistol held vertical like all others. I guess it's just something to get used to...

I never realized that. Learn sumpin' new every day. Carrying it concealed might be a problem, but if Anna can do it, I reckon I could.

Geez. That's not flashy at all.

Well, if you're going to a BBQ go big or go home. Of course you'd have to have matching custom leather for it. Wouldn't do to stick it in some OTS kydex - that would be beyond tacky.

innovative .... I'd of never considered using a magazine as a speedloader for a revolver

I used the flexible strips that hold the bullets by the base for a 38. There light and I can carry 2 or 3 of them easy
