Will Carry

I have a PPQ-45 and love it. I keep it next to my bed with a green laser and a light. 12+1 of 45 caliber goodness.

You can see a glamps of fur on it's chest. Bobcat for sure.

Baby Face Nelson was shot 17 times with 45acp and 00 buckshot. He still managed to kill two G-men, get in a car and make it to a safe house, where he bled out. Sometimes the bullets just don't hit the right places.

I watch a movie where Robert Duval was an assassin in South America. He used a North American Arms mini-revolver. He walked up behind his target on a crowded staircase, put the revolver up against his back and shot him. Then drifted off into the crowd unnoticed. The derringer is a "surprise!" weapon, a GTFO me gun.

I own a couple of 1911s in 45acp but I don't carry them because of the thumb safety. Since I shoot revolvers and striker fired pistols, I am afraid I would forget to thumb off the safety in a 1911 style weapon. I do have a revolver that uses 45acp that I carry often. I think a man who carries a 1911 in 45acp is well armed. It's just no me.

Great post! I have been seriously thinking of getting a 10mm pistol. I have shoot some at the range and thought they were very manageable. The picture below was from Sunday before last but that's not the 10mm I want.

We haven't lost power for more than a few minutes, in 20 years or so and that was from an ice storm. For me, I just don't see spending thousands of dollars to save $300 worth of food in the refrigerator. If I lived in rural area or had a lot of money, I might be singing a different tune.

I have never seen anything like this.

David is wise, David is good. My Sig P-365 9mm made all of my .380s obsolete. Some people have physical limitations that may prevent them from being able to operate a small 9mm and to those people the .380 is an option. Since my reverse shoulder replacement surgery, I have gone back to .380s and I don't feel under gunned but roaming the recesses of Harris Teeter is about my limit these days.

If it has an octagonal barrel, don't buy it. I had a Henry Big Boy in .357 magnum. The rifle was so barrel heavy that I got mad every time I shot it. I sold it. It is way out of balance compared to my Winchester 30-30 from the 1950s.

BUT I just had my shoulder replaced and cannot shoot it for 6 months! It was made in Turkey. Does anyone have one of these and can give me some beta?

You went out to pee? ! We must be related somehow!

My little buddy Jamie James. Bichon Frize. I noticed that he sleeps in one particular place on the couch in the living room. I went over one morning to pet him and I noticed that from his sleeping spot he could see the driveway, the road, the back door, the front door and the hallway, all from this one spot. At night, I can tell if he growls, whether it's a dog or a person.

They say people need to laugh out loud at least once a day to stay healthy. I am feeling healthy, thanks pal.

Thanks for the post Turkeydad! I have many handguns but none of them are optic ready. I am still using iron sites. I just cannot justify spending money on a pistol with red dot sites that will make my other carry guns obsolete........I know, that is flawed logic. I am recovering from a shoulder replacement now and cannot shoot anyway. That will give me time to think about it.

I remember watching the TV show called "The FBI", back in the.........a long time ago. Efferum Zimbalist Jr, could down a helicopter with his snub nosed .38. I am recovering from a shoulder replacement on my shooting hand. I am having to carry on my left side. I wish I had practiced more shooting left-handed.

That is great! A Glock 17 goes bang every time!

THERE WILL BE NO MORE JOY!

HEY HAMMAS. HELL IS COMING TO BREAKFAST!

Say hello to my little friend! This little buddy has won a place of respect in my carry collection.

I have Crimson Trace lasers for my G-19, 1911 and P-238. Yet I only have one in use right now on my Glock that is on my bedside table. The other two are in the safe. I took them off my carry guns because if I ever have to draw on someone, I want it to be as simple as possible. I am kind of old school. No red dot sights, no lasers on my carry guns and no high dollar race guns. I prefer carrying a J-frame revolver with a P-238 or P-365 as a back up. I recently purchased a Charter Arms Bulldog 44sp. I love it! a big fat slow moving bullet.
