Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I have worked in and out of textile mills for about 35 years. I started before hearing protection was required, know better than to go shoot like that but forgot since I was excited to fire a few rounds. Bill I still carry my CW9 most days when I have something on me. I like to carry in the small of my back. My favorite pistol to shoot is a 1911 but to big to carry. I really the CW's to shoot as well as carry.
