Handguns
« on: March 11, 2016, 11:06:10 AM »
Don't see to much here on handguns, so thought I start a new thread.  Out here we need no government agency to tell us we can or can not carry a concealed weapon.  If you walk into most of our stores you will find a significant number of people open carry and probably twice as many carrying concealed.  I very seldom leave home without a sidearm, to include church.

My open carry Sig, cocked and locked ready to go.



My concealed Sig:






“Fate whispers to the warrior, ‘You cannot withstand the storm.’ And the warrior whispers back, ‘I am the storm’.’”

I wish more people would carry.  It would cut down on the crime in  my opinion

Top one is a 1911 .45ACP, bottom one .380 can put it in your pocket (w/o holster)and it is not noticeable.

Nice Pistols.  Been thinking about a 380 for conceal.
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

CJ, Nice pistols. I have a pistol or shotgun within reach most of the time. I favor carrying S&W, M&P Shield .40, .45 or 9mm

Jake, I agree.
My Dad is long gone. When he was alive, and headlines of a crime hit the newspaper, Dad would always say... "if everyone wore a pistol on their hip, there wouldn't be so much crime."

Goose, if memory serves me correctly I think they only made that in 41 mag, not sure.  I have a buddy who has one and he turned down $1,000 for it.  Are they still producing them?

Hern, I think your daddy was right and thanks for the compliment on the pistols.  We too have a handgun or shotgun within arms reach in every room of the house.  Likewise when we lived on the border, now that we moved into town I feel even less secure - city living sucks.

When I retired from Active Duty in 84, my retirement gift from the guys on my team was a pre-64 Win Mdl 70, .270.   My son now is the proud owner of that rifle.  After 9/11 I volunteered to be recalled and was.  Served an additional three years and upon retirement was present with:






Presented by the enlisted men on my team, never fired and only touched once a year to be rubbed down with a new coat of oil.  This will go to my youngest daughter as she served as a combat medic in Afghanistan & Iraq. 

The older I get the more guns I give away to my kids and grandkids.
