Taurus Millenium Pro .45 is where its at.
I use jacketed Hollow points, I have a 9 round mag that should be enough lol. Its more of a get off me gun anyways. Cant really aim it at all. If I am going on a long trip I carry this guy http://www.fnhusa.com/index.php?cID=509 or my Glock .45; I am a big fan of .45 ACP round. But if I'm going to the gym, or somewhere I can't conceal either one of those easily I just throw the kel tec in my pocket.

Sigmas are not a good representation of SW. They do make a good product but the sigma feels cheap and plasticy and I hated it.

Oh.... Read it wrong.

I bought it back in Feb. Took it straight to Faster Proms in FL where Jeremy Formato did magic. Thing went on dyno 606rwhp/575rwtq on 87 octane on only 12psi. Jeremy said if we had more octane it would be scary.
pretty sweet. if you need more octane just run torco octane booster.

Kel Tec makes some good stuff.

I like my PT-145 because its small enough to conceal inside my waistband no problems but it packs 10 rounds of .45 caliber ammo. Best of both worlds IMO. I have a G21 .45 I use for home protection. Ruger P95 9mm for fun target shooting.

One of these days I'll end up getting a .40 or .45 for CC. I just havent been able to set $ aside lately for it and I don't want to sell any of my guns lol. I have way too many handguns as it is but I'm not getting rid of any of them.

I usually buy 2-3 guns a year. Its a delicate balance between car parts and guns... I need some less expensive hobbies.

Not a bad price. Local place to me sells them for 410 a piece, usually in stock and ready to be mounted. I STILL can't decide whether or not I want to go with a slick or a drag radial. It would be Mickey ET Streets or Hoosier slicks.. What would you guys go with?

Yeah. Hopefully get it painted next week sometime. Hood I have here, I just took a break. I'll finish hood tomorrow and hopefully scavenge an alternator.

Here we go... against my better judgement I got in an argument with a 5.0 fanboi who is a good buddy of mine. He is trying to say the V6 Mustang will beat the 5th gen SS... explaining trap speeds to people is aggravating

While I agree with 45 ACP for a CCW, my pistol of choice is a Kimber Pro Cary II.

I've got a Taurus 9mm and its not a bad gun to take to the range without going bankrupt on ammo, but no way I'd trust a Taurus as a CC. I've been through 3 different clips and a million different brand rounds it still stovepipe jams once or twice every ~200 rounds.

Kimber will go 500 rounds in one day without a single hiccup.
