Thread: Personal Firearms

Just picked up the new Glock 43 9mm single stack and put trijicon combat night sights with orange front post and deep U notch back. After reliability testing will likely become my low threat off duty EDC. Thanks wife unit for the great birthday present!

Only concern is the lower round count of 6+1. But I will rely on the 3 feet, 3 seconds, 3 rounds per avg gunfight maxim and carry and extra mag JIC! Ha. I figure if I haven't solved the problem with that plus my Ruger LCP BUG I should have brought a rifle or shot gun in the first place. Ha.

Stay safe all!

Sounds like a nice addition,,, a lot of people are getting them it seems,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

My 2 cents,,,,, rely on your environment awareness & shot placement,,,,,,,, it won't be your round count that keeps you alive

This is a link I have posted previously...an auction that was open and now closed. This is a new auction and for me is just a history lesson and brings me back in time to the beginning of my fascination with firearms. I've owned some nice ones. The only gun in the apt now is a Colt Model 1917 U.S Military .45 ACP. Sadly it was not to highly regarded as it was an under the seat handgun used by a Veterinarian to put down big animals.
Again, this is what happens when a wealthy man loves guns and they he passes. One of the ultimate Estate Sales: James D. Julia, Inc. -

If you got a photo of the Colt, it would be nice to see it. They are firearms with a great history.

Just picked up a Wilson Combat CQB. As nice as it is I still prefer my G19 . I think a G20 SF is the next hg purchase. Just need to decide if I keep the CQB or not.

Yes, its hard to beat the G19,,,,,,,,

have had a lot of handguns, but for carry I demand simple, reliable and accurate. So, to the point, after many handguns, some of which are still in rotation, my go-to pieces are the G19 and G26...depending on seasons and clothes. Can't be beat IMO.

Sorry for the delay John, here is the old Colt. I was reluctant to post it because of the condition. Kind of sad to see a neglected firearm... Revolver is marked "United States Property." This gun sits in the hand solidly, a natural pointer.

Looks kind of like the first firearm I was issued when I started working for the Government-har har.
