Will Carry

When you only have six shots and then a slow reload, you gotta count to six. When I watch a western movie, I count the shots. When I hear shots in the distance, I count them. I'm weird like that.

I was looking up Ruger Single Six on you-tube. It's a six shot pistol, but every single video I watched, they shoot six times and then one more. Is it that they can't count, or they think that it may have an extra bullet in there somewhere? Or more likely, they know more about taking videos than they do shooting.

A chimpansee could pass the concealed carry course and probably the shooting part too. No worries mate. It's a piece of cake.

I have to agree with Darrel. You can keep a gun safe or you can keep a gun accessable. You can't have both. I keep my pistol safe during the day when I'm at work and in my bedside table at night. There is nothing wrong with getting a little pistol safe if you have kids or if you feel you need one. I'm just saying...........

Considering that the NAACP is the countries largest racist organization, I find it ironic.

I guess I should count my blessings. Horny Man In Assault Bust - July 14, 2010

An FBI agent or SWAT team member uses a $2500 custom 1911 as a tool to save lives and fight crime. To everyone else, it's just a high dollar toy. No offense intended, I have a few toys myself.

I would feel perfectly safe carrying my Colt Government for self defense. It's very reliable, accurate and has good stopping power. 8+1 is not too few rounds to have in a self defense scenario. For some reason, I don't carry it for self defense or even home defense. I think I bought because it's fun to shoot and fun to tinker with. I often think about carrying it but I always seem to find a reason to carry my Glock or my XD or my snubby. Yet when someone talks trash about how old it is or how outdated it is, I always feel defensive about it.

I have a Higgins 22 from 1935. They just don't make them like that any more. It will still drive nails and will out shoot any 10-22 ever made at long range.

I can't decide if this show sucks or not. Way too much testosteron. I watch it like my wife watches QVC.

I tell ya. My 1911 is my favorite pistol for so many reasons. The only thing is, as you draw the 1911 you have to release the saftey as you draw. Semi-auto pistols were designed to have the ammo in the grip, the handle. Revolver grips were designed to fit the hand. In a quick draw contest, the revolver has the advantage. This may be the only advantage that I can give to the revolver for self defense. The revolver fits the hand, it is easy to grab and pull. They point well. If I were going to get into an old fashioned Hollywood western shootout. I would choose the lowely, outdated, DA revolver. I did not come to this conclusion easily, but after many hours of practice I still carry an old fashioned, antiquated, antique handgun. I just cannot accepted that my Glocks, Springfields, Colts and Sigs are left at home. (Or maybe not.....depends on the threat)

PEARL HARBOR! It has so many historically inaccurate scenes. It's the movie I love to hate. The scene where the P-40 is flying back and forth across the airfield with a Zero on it's tail, and they guys on the ground have to climb the control tower to shoot the Zero down. WTF! A Zero would have dispatched the P-40 in about 5 seconds like that. That's just one of the many inaccuracies that made this movie a joke. There are too many to list on here. That is why Pearl Harbor is the worst movie I own. It is an insult to the brave men and women who fought and died on December 7th 1941.

Red Skelton is one of the funniest men I ever heard of.

I carry a Glock 36. It's a great little 45. Shoots anything I feed it. I bought a +1 extension for one of the mags. It makes it a little bigger but doesn't pinch my pinky like the original magazine. I have been drooling over the new Colt Defenders but I have to seperate my needs from my wants. The Glock 36 meets my needs.

I clicked on the signers of the declaration. They sure died young back then. Thanks for posting, it's good to read that document again.

I practice drawing and firing an unloaded handgun in various concealed carry configurations. I have seen on You-tube videos that you have about 1.5 seconds to react to a threat. Of the guns I carry (Glock 36, M85, Colt 1991A, S&W model 36, DB380) there is one pistol that beats the rest hands down. The lowly, old school, 5 shot, Smith and Wesson model 36 Chiefs Special. I took my pistols to the range and got permission to draw and fire. I was surprised that this old revolver was faster than any gun I carry at drawing and putting 5 rounds on target. I carry this pistol on my right hip IWB. I think it's the small grips that make it easier to grap and pull and the light weight.

How about a good 9mm like a Spingfield or a Glock? Better yet an XD-45! My daughter loves the XD45. A handgun has certain advantages over a long gun. A long gun like a shotgun is big and awkward when trying to move through a house. You have to keep it in your closet, where a handgun can be kept at your bedside. As for shooting through walls, you can get frangable ammo like Glazer Silver Tips, that won't penatrate walls very well but will still devistate a traget. Buck shot will go through walls too. As for the Taurus Judge, it is one of the best selling guns in America right now, it must have something that people want in a self defense gun. My best advice is to get a shotgun for your closet and a handgun for your beside. The hangun will hold of the zombies until you can get to the shotgun. I keep a snub nosed 38sp with Crimson Trace laser grips by my bed and a 12 gauge Nova in the closet. With a back up XD45.

I got an e-mail from Diamondback today. They said that since their pistol was made for self defense that I need to use high performance self defense loads rather than cheap target loads. I took me three weeks of searching Walmarts to find some 380 ammo, cheap target loads. Since I am stuck with this pistol I am going to invest in some high performance self defense loads and see if they work. This whole darn pocket pistol thing has been a disaster. I'm out more than $500 and all I have to show for it is a 6 shot 380 that may or may not jam. I cannot recomend any 380 pistol. If I had to own a 380, it would be a Sig 238. I will find some high dollar loads for my DB380 and run them through it and post the results.

Why is the everytime there is an artillery barrage in a Hollywood war movie, everybody gets up and starts running around? "Band of Brothers"! They are nice and snug in their fox holes, the artillery barrage starts and next thing you know everybody is up running around! "Pearl Harbor"! The movie I love to hate. The Japs fly in and start bombing, everybody gets up and starts running around! WTF! Nobody gets up during an artillery barrage. Wherever you are when the shelling starts, is where you stay. Soldiers who get up during an artillery barrage are called "Medal of Honor" recipiants. Another thing about Hollywood and the Military Channel. Sound travels at around 720mph or about a mile in 5 seconds, but not on the military channel. On the military channel sound travels at the speed of light, just like Hollywood. When you see the explosion, you here it. I thought Band of Brother was a great film, even if the soldiers were a little whinny. The Hurt Locker was a good film. Private Ryan is my favorite war film. Platoon was a great film, but the soldiers bunched up too much on patrol and when you are watching a trail, you don't stand out in the middle of it. Full Metal Jacket should have ended when Pyle killed himself. If you have read this far, then I must appolgize for wasting your time, I just felt like ranting. I had a bad day at work

Thanks for your continued posts. What kind of people are you meeting? They talk funny up thar. In the summer they wear shots and drive golf cats.

I own a DB380. It shoots better than an LCP or a Kel-Tec. It doesn't have that snappy recoil. It has a lifetime warrenty. It breaks down like a Glock. Some people swear by them. I have fired about 150 rounds of American Eagle target ammo through it. I have had a number of FTFs. I will shoot one more box of ammo and if it continues to double feed I will send it back. They say it needs a couple of hundred rounds to break in. That doesn't sound right to me either. I carry it as a back up or as a deep concealment gun. Cor Bon Powerballs seem to feed better than the target ammo but they cost too much to plink with.

My Glock 36, XD-45 and Colt Governmet can be fire limp wristed without jamming. My DB300, MarkIII Hunter and XDM40 will jam when fire limp wristed. I asked this becuase I was wondering how you could shoot with an injured wrist.

The 686 is a fine handgun, $550 is a reasonalbe price IF it passes the used revolver inspection. Chuck Hawks wrote and article on how to inspect a used handgun. You can google it and find it pretty easily.

If you have the money, you won't regret it. The resale value will be very high. They may be the best revolvers made today. I am thinking about selling some of my pistols and buying one.
