A man of your community standing should not be rocking a taurus firearm sir. Let's sell that one, privately of course because it's none of the governments business and let's get you a smaller framed 1911 like you deserve.Bought a Taurus G2C 9mm last week. Put about 100 rounds thru it today and like it a lot. Not the best 9mm on the market by any means but for $299 it should be fine for a starter conceal carry. Getting ammo is going to be the difficult part now.
By the way my wife even carries a 45.
