not a fan of them, more like the anti-fan! Had to carry one or the other for 21 years. Would have reather carried a .30 cal round to get the job done right! Something in the M14 variety. maybe even a .56 cal C. Sharps Rifle w/Double set triggers.
Oh and I hate the Beretta too! Da** 9mm wimpy round. "but I can carry 15 rounds" ...... and you'll need every one of them and more! Should never have gotten rid of the 1911! Yeah, I'm old school! That's the reason I hang out here.
Beautiful pieces there. I need to take pics of mine. I have only one as of now. Maybe if and when I get done with my 1911 project, I will look for another.
The Beretta came into the picture because the Gov't wanted to kiss NATO's a**. I totally agree that the .45 ACP should have never been taken out of service. That was a perfect example of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." It served us well for 75 years. As a side note, the US Coast Guard dumped the 9mm about 5 years ago and went w/ the .40. It may not be a .45, but it's sure an improvement.Quote:

I love the .40 and plan on carrying some of the hot load hollow points once I turn 21 and leave the state.
I pitty the bad guy that comes at my "pansy" wife as they will receive a deep tissue massage of 147gr hp's.
My point?
There is a desired weapon and round for every situation and operator. There is always someone who prefers something else. Learning to utilize what you have to it's best potential is what makes a shooter.
It's like my rules of a gunfight:
1. Have a gun
2. Hit what you are shooting at.
Heck, my back-up and deep cover round/weapon is a "pansy" 22 mag NAA Pug.
ok does airsoft count lol, i just picked up a m4 the other day. just wondering lol
Here is mine modeled by my wife, she decided to play dress up and thought the S&W M&P M-4 with ACOG would look good with her pink purse.
At least she knows her way around weapons...note the index finger's location.
Those are some great photos that proudly support the 2nd Amendment! I would love to have a similar set up in the house, but SWMBO would not allow it. She does however tolerate the Ruger 9mm and the 12 gauge home security system I have in the house. On a side note, when the zombie apocalypse starts, can we come stay with you guys if we BYOB?:)
