Well for god's sake don't go to a dealer####! They'll rob you inside out, then bend you over to stuff it back in! You can see the kinda bikes I prefer. My opinion of the mobile recliners is.....unflattering. Non-complimentary, you could say.

Bump

There ain’t no “instead of”. The FatBoy stays. I’m keeping an eye out for a bargain on a bagger. We can try it out and then sell it once she discovers whatever’s wrong with it.

My deciding factor is finding the sweet spot between a grip that is long and prints like a broomstick under my t-shirt vs a grip too short to get three fingers on and pinches a blood blister on my palm loading a magazine. The itty bitty whiz-bang double stacks don’t blow up my skirt. My typical carry gun ends up being something along the lines of a Glock 48 (barely), a Springfield EMP4, or a Sig 365X Macro.

See? Even Arnold knows you can’t do that chit on a bagger!

100 times so, yes. It'd literally be like riding your couch down the road. But.... there's always 'as well as' as opposed to 'instead of'

If you’re an adult reasonable non felon non weird and not a flake I would sell you a gun you need a hobby what in the world do you do for fun lol.

If only you were closer...

Great deal from a great TGO member

Across the sea of history, mankind has charted a noble course. Over the ages, homo habilis gave way to homo erectus, then homo neanderthalensis prevailed. Now the the time of our own homo sapiens runs short and goodfornothing homo saggypanticus shuffles forward (one hand holding up his britches). Do not go quietly into that good night! Resist homo saggypanticus! And sell me your .22. Thank you.

Last price drop before going to gunbroker. $2800

What Ed says here is a great truth, for me at least. I do lots better covertly carrying a single stack than I do a double. I value the thin profile of most any pistola for concealed carry than the extra firepower of the doubles. Even my CR 920 stack and a half is a tad too wide. I have ta carry the double attacks OWB or in the hip pocket of my Carhartts... leroy.

Thanks, that's who I was thinking of using

Added more trade options.

What's a fatboy?

Well, lots of noise about drops and NDs. Not in the habit, y e t, of dropping handguns. 320s have had their issues, 1911s, SA revolvers, and then don’t forget shotguns are not drop safe and I can’t tell you how many I’ve witnessed in the duck blind, but luckily none fired….multiply that nationwide every season. I don’t think I would make that issue the top of my list on which gun to carry unless dropping things routinely is your MO.

I don’t understand why nobody has bought this..

Bump to 29-2. Thanks, Flavius.

Trigger pull is the deciding factor. If you had two identical pistols which one would you choose to carry, the 10# gritty pull or the 6# smooth as glass? Floating firing pins have been in use since the 1880s. S&W used them, discontinued them, then brought them back. Remember, revolvers don't have a firing pin block as available in series 80 1911s. Modern revolvers have a transfer bar that does nothing to capture the "floating" firing pin. There is in my mind no drop safe pistol. The possibility of even a pistol with a firing pin block being discharged by any number of forces when dropped is always there. There is no such thing as an accidental discharge, it's negligent discharge or even unintended discharge. Those who are truly staunch in handling firearms do not break the rules which allow unintended consequences. Machines are dangerous, all of them, including the lever and fulcrum. Familiarity can make one comfortable and thereby lax. Short version; guns are not drop safe, none of them.

tell her all the bikes are the same, but Fat Boy to touring bike is like sitting on a stump to sitting in a comfy recliner
