A bit longer barrel would be OK. I&#8217;ve looked at the newer stuff and have seen nothing that seems to have the soul of the Colt. Some of the older stuff is ok but I don&#8217;t want to run into the same issues. And  it has to be something I can carry year round. I&#8217;m open to all suggestions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have, as my carry gun, a nice Colt Government 380.
