Thanks Gamekeeper...very interesting. I will have to go look at the movie again and freeze some frames, and I don't remember the grip and frame configuration looking like the Colt. Given movie "poetic license" I suspect they used later model guns.

Re: Concealed Carry by State in the U.S.
Are these stats for resident only permits, or include non-resident as well? Here on the East coast it is very common for people to have a resident permit in their state, and a non-resident from FLA, which has the largest reciprocity in this area. That might account for the large number (1.7M) for FLA.
