Default Hello everyone !!

Well, My name is Steve,and I was a U.S.Army 91A10 Medic.
I was in active duty 1984-1987,and in the California National Guard,1989-1991.
I was Stationed in Baumholder Germany with, 8th ID (Mech),HHC,2/68 Armored Regiment.
I was in Baumholder from Dec.1984-1986,then I was sent to Fort Devens Mass.I left the Army as a E-4 (P)
I now live in Tacoma Wa.
I have been married for over 13 years,with no kids.
I work in Private security now.
My duty gun is a Glock 21 in 45ACP.
My off duty concealed weapon is a Wilson Combat 1911 45ACP ,and sometimes also a Glock 19 9mm,
Carried in a Kramer IWB#2,most of the time. Sometimes,I even carry my S&W Mod.49 Bodyguard,
in 38 spec.
I am active in IDPA#A00151

Sometimes my spelling is bad,so please don't get angry at me,if I spell something wrong.

Well,that's all I can think of for now,if you have any questions,just ask.
Have a good one.

Steve...

Can you give me more specifics on the Wilson Combat? Balance, trigger pull, malfunctions, etc. There is a new WC--the ADP--in 9mm, and it is light and simple. It looks perfect for my daughter. (22 and 5'6") I have not found any in the area so we can do a 'hands-on'.

Any info you could give would be more than I have: and appreciated greatly!

Steve

The Wilson Combat 1911's are great,with perfect reliability,3.5 lbs trigger pull,very accurate.

But I would not buy the ADP in 9mm or any caliber unless it was to be used only as a back-up
weapon. This weapon needs lots of PMCS's and is not desighned to be shot alot.

Good luck with your gun search for your daughter.
