Hi --- I'm Joe - currently in Montana - THE LAST GOOD PLACE. I don't have any more moves in me --- don't really want to move again anyway.
Here, the air's clear, the trout put up a good fight and I'm retired so I didn't cost some Montanan his job.
I spent 55+ years in the auto repair business - owned a few shops and a couple of private yacht/fishing boats in Dana Point and Newport Beach, CA., and half an airplane - and a few other things in my previous life in SoCal.
Before that, I lived in NJ, FL, CT, Cuba, VA, Scotland, Ireland, Egypt, and wherever my dad's submarine service took us - I was a Navy Brat. The 4 years I spent in the USN wasn't a total waste of time, but the experience was good, so there's that anyway.
I own a G20.4, use Underwood Extreme Penetrators when I fish - 'cause there's bears in the riverbeds and foothills and I do not give a bear permission to eat my live while I watch. I don't think the bears even took a winter nap this year since the winter (up to this point) has been too mild. That can change at any moment though......
My holster is a Blackhawk CQC with toggle release. It's waterproof in case I accidentally go swimming and the G20 won't fall out. Since I wear a backpack and carry 2 poles and water, a few PBJs and some hard butterscotch candies from The Dollar Store.
Since I squat a lot to fish - gotta sneak up on fish, ya know ..... I find I also tend to sneak up on bears. So I cross draw from my left hip because I feel that's only one motion ---> pull-sweep-fire all in one fluid move, one direction.
Most times I practice on a 9-inch paper plate at 42 yards (oddball footage I know, but it just worked out that way) and I can double tap inside the plate. I can dump a mag of 15+1 in a little over 5 seconds.... I don't think I'll be able to drop a mag and reload in the time it takes a bear to charge.....<chomp, chomp>
Ya gotta be good to beat Yogi.

- BTW: BIG wages here are $15/hr - so if you want to make $10 million in Montana, arrive with $20 million.
