I been buying the Underwood 10MM ammo a lot lately. After Maya got some for her daily carry 10mm, I switched over to using it myself .

5.11 Pushpack& Colt Defender
I don’t have any specific point with this post but wanted to ramble on about a couple things. I recently got some spiffy new VZ grips for my Colt Defender.
