I'm not opposed to modern tech, but with the exception of a TC 22 classic I bought 15 years or so ago, the most modern thing I've got in my safe is a pair of M14's, one stock, the other with a medium weight barrel and Nightforce scope.
I don't carry, but if the need arose I'd pack my bedside companion, a Kimber 1911. I appreciate the design and reliability of the Glock, but it doesn't "feel" rite to me and I've got a log of rounds through the 1911 and am proficient with it.
