I much prefer knives for self defense although a firearm is much cooler

I'm not sure there's anything "cool" about firearms, nor about taking someone's life with a blade. Self defence or not.

Having said that, I carry one of these day to day, though I'd rather not. For a start, I don't really need it, and secondly, it's an old fashioned, pretty crappy sidearm:

For deployments further afield, I have to take this:

I know many of our UK and European members may see this differently but this is something I really want and the price is really good. My girlfriend is having an absolute fit at the thought. However, I'm the "liberal" and she is actually a member of the US Navy. Interesting predicament.

That model is the .45 10+1 which would be nice, just in case Charles Soludo's 3rd cousin in Atlanta gets a federal subpoena on my IP.

that's a mighty small .45 :O

That is a nice gun. Taurus makes a decent firearm it seems. I love this gun that they make:

It's called "The Judge", which is just awesome. It shoots .45s and shotgun shells. That's just awesome as well. I absolutely love the idea of a gun that shoots shotgun shells and bullets. It's like a sawed-off-shotgun that I can carry legally as a concealed weapon.

.45 and .410 rounds as I recall.

Yup. Great gun and I am positive it will be my next purchase.

[quote="bill2"][just pondering]
Bill2 : was just stumbling around the threads and happened upon this one. I have to respect your opinion about your usage of weapons, but I think that it is perfectly ok to carry weapons as well as to belong to a site that uses none lethal means to screw up the lads. I have carried for 45 years (most of it on duty) and have and still do wear a "bulletproof vest" . admittedly it's use is more of a back brace today, BUT it still performs it primary duty which it was made to perform. My neighborhood is not one of the "nicest", as due to gangs, and after 18 years of being on the street performing my duties I choose to wear and carry 24/7. In my state it is legal and I have had a permit for 32 years (the U.S. army issued my permit for 12 ). I am Old---not helpless. I think that I do understand your reasoning and do respect that reasoning, but I choose to carry for safety. Just my two pennies.

I can only drool and slobber. Crying or Very sad

I have a permit for a Glock 19 in 9mm. It is dependable. I live in a rinky trink little country with rinky trink gun laws, and 9mm is the highest caliber a private citizen can own in a handgun. I also have a couple of long arms, a pump 12 and a Mini 14 in .223. I have never needed them for dealing with people, but use the long arms for pest control.

I like the Para Ordnance 45s, and if I could get one of those .410 revolvers, I would.

Knowing what I know about the world/people, I wouldn't live where I couldn't own a firearm. You have to have a lot of faith in the goodness of man and the omnipotence of LE to live without them.

Yet they let you own a 12 Gauge shotgun and any .223 rifle of your liking?

I've got an older PT-140. I like it.

Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 4:54 pm

@PF^^^ no the 12 gauge is ostensibly a farm gun, and the .223 is fpr a business I am involved with to protect its assets. And it's not for anyone. I had to jump through some hoops and pull some strings. There is no entitlement to any of these weapons except the farm gun, and that is over kill, but I like it and have had it for 18 years.

Which is?

Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:56 pm

It's a secret!!!!!

If he told you,he'd probably have to bonk you on the head with his big flashlight!!!

Wink

Bomb, that's a little too big to fit in the glovebox of my car.....and I couldn't easily answer the front door with it when some drugged up/drunk/irate arsehole with a bad sense of direction, is trying to kick in my front door at 3 am, looking for somebody I've never heard of....whose name he is bellowing loudly.....

I don't need a gun.

I can kill with just a stare.

That's because you are so hideous.

@ Poobah
The XDm now comes in a 19+1 model.

A pistol with 20 rounds out of the holster? PFFT, ridiculous if you ask me. Rolling Eyes

I want one. Embarassed

That's insane. 20 rounds! I'd be bound to hit the mugu eventually. I mean, intruder.

My current favorite, but I don't carry it. grandad_cuervo brought it back from Germany.
