As it says, I should have introduced myself first before making my first post. Newby from Louisville, Ky. Currently unemployed (long story) but about 35 years ago I was certified as an armed security officer, I had first carried my dad's Colt Trooper as the company I worked for only had cheap RG .38spl as their issue sidearm. Fortunately my company had pretty lenient carry policies. After a month or so of carrying that Colt, I bought a 659 for carry! Loved that gun! Still have a few Smiths, but need more
