Story in Dallas area today about a young man about 21 and his girlfriend who came in to buy a car from a man they'd been talking to on the internet...brought a trailer and met the guy....got robbed of his cash and shot to death...girlfriend not hurt...saddest part....he had a CCW and his gun was left in his vehicle....he never had a chance....remember, guys, we get the permit because we realize there is a need...which is not served by leaving it in the car...please put out the trouble to find a carry method that works and use it every day...my sig. line says it all...be safe out there....
I'm not going to ever tell my family or friends "It was too much trouble...it's too hot" I carry two-one for me and one for backup or my co-worker who doesn't have a permit...yes it's uncomfortable at first but you get used to it and then it's nothing but comfortable...
It can be no plainer said than RVN11B put it...we have to evaluate our reasons for carrying and when it gets more important than just OUR a.., then we begin to learn of commitment...you have lived a life committed to others' safety...lots of folks have never given a moment's notice to any others...and there's the difference...thanks again for your service...and I think you understand that my fears are not that I won't have it handy for me...but that I won't be able to help another person...the pinhole's still there where the badge was...and I guess I'll die that way...excercising the right to carry is not a casual thing, not a novelty, but a way of life...
FrankRochester, I've carried a M60 2".38 for years as backup-now a M649 humpback...don't like the airweight/Ti types as I like to practice a lot...I can actually shoot my snub as well as a 4" at combat ranges, but the lightweights beat you up in practice..last one I bought was a M12...never again...the snubs are now made in .357, too, but mine is older...the weight doesn't bother me and it's a comfy little handful with Pachmayr Compac grips...hides in a front jeans pocket or IWB...love that little gun...
...there ya go!!! I use those holsters during the wringin' wet days of summer-throw 'em in the wash...otherwise after a few days' work, they'd smell me coming....also have them in leather...move the clip up about an inch and they'll disappear behind a belt buckle...still plenty fast to get to...
'
I used one when you were but a twinkle in your Daddy's eye...the ones we used were fine, and I'm with you-I'd love to have one in the closet...even in semi-auto...killin' machine...what's a SAW??? The Marines have historically gotten the stuff noone else wanted...and made it work...done more with less than most thought possible...I think the M60 should be brought back along with the M14 for the current conflict...the M60 takes bigger bites than the new ones...anyone as good as you were with one should have one mounted on your SUV...for the coming pleasantries....
Ain't no tellin', Snuffy...ain't no tellin'.....BAR was 30-06, right? Box mag or belt? A bit before my time, but I got a buddy who used one in the Nam....sometimes the old ones are better than the new ones like they found out lately...betcha we see all the troops back with .45 unless we get a real cutback in funding...
...as in M14 7.62 or a shortened round??? I like the M240 but I know which one carries easier!!! Neither were born when I was involved in training....makes me feel ancient...
Bunzo....getcha some Gold Dot and lead with a Glaser Blue or two...go to Silver in coat weather, and practice, man, practice!!!! PPK takes more practice than a .45---used to carry one waaaaaaayback and never got what I'd call good with it...easy hidin' little critter, though...for sure...
