It's a good thing this dufus doesn't carry any longer
I would suggest that all guns be made as one shot and to reload would take perhaps two minutes. As for hunters if they can't kill an animal with one shot, they are no hunters.
Forget the "clips" vs. "magazines" brouhaha. That's a self-imposed smokescreen.
This guy is a vicious antigunner and is completely against the private use and ownership of firearms. Period. He just throws that sop in about a "single shot" at the end to pretend he knows or cares anything about our civil rights. He doesn't.
He's pro-criminal and pro-tyranny.
Didn’t even read the article cuz...
“It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip.”
Anyone who knows a lick about 9mm, knows it ain’t a clip FOOL! Its a magazine!
And its a 13 round mag...
Oh, that's different.
"Never mind."
Slap me silly and call me stupid. I knew about the Model 29, and later the .44 Automag, but I did not know about the Serpico/High Power connection. Now your post makes more sense (as all your posts do.)
I was a wimp and got me a Model 19 Combat Magnum instead.
The sheeple are afraid of their own shadows.
In the nearly 7 years I’ve had my CCW, I rarely leave the house without a firearm.
There’s hardly a day that goes by that I don’t shoot a co-worker or some random motorist that gets in my way on the freeway. And those punk kids on skateboards had it coming anyway. And don’t get me started on the bicyclists with their tight, gay, spandex costumes, begging to be shot.

Harry Callahan: “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
Agreed, that's what reasonable people do. Scared liberals buy it new and never shoot it. If it was properly holstered, it might not even show any signs of wear.
In 1979, inflation was what...10-11% year over year? The dollar value for a mint firearm may have risen enough to justify this.
My Browning `parabellum’ is a `65. Even with a little slide slop it’s a lot more accurate than I am.
13 round mag, that’s right. Fobus makes a nice paddle holster for the gun.
Cool story.
My father didn’t tell many war stories but told this one. He carried the Browning in VN as an advisor. He had been using a Tokarev, really liked it but ran out of ammo so he got a Colt. The local VC learned to count to seven, so he traded an AK to a spook for the Browning.
Next time they met his M-16 `ran out’—damn!—and one or two of them stood up after seven Colt rounds—then he and John Browning, his counterpart and they all had a nice but noisy (and short) conversation.
My .40 Glock jammed tight on the first box of ammo. A smith in St. Paul removed a small burr and polished the ejection port slightly. Works like a dream now, but I agree. New gun ? Hit the range.
The 19 is a great gun. Somehow all of mine drifted away while I was on an .44 Special N frame kick - so call me extra stupid. :) Bill Jordan was key in it’s development. I’ve got a signed and personalized copy of his “No Second Place Winner.”
These mass shootings were not at all “impulsive”. For example, Columbine was planned for weeks. Also, the Virginia Tech shooter mailed a note and photo to NBC before he shot all those people. It seems “impulsive” shootings are not the problem.

Frederick appears to have a rather nervous and confused disposition. A typical Pittsburgh Putz Gazette reader, also known as Pravda at the Point. Freddie wants to ignore the statistics from 10+ yrs of right to carry here in PA and every other state, that folks who have a CCW are much more law abiding and better shots than those who carry to “be a man” as Freddie admitted he was.
“More armed people would bring more impulsive shootings”
But...if everyone were armed, the shooter wouldn’t get his first shot off before several passersby put extra holes into him.
“More armed people would bring more impulsive shootings”
One of the top 100 lies brought to the public by liberals, ignorant and scared of everything. All the States that have written CCW laws have not seen this hysteria of shootings so far.
I don’t know...it is a simple watching and separating from the thought stream.” Be still and know that I am God. “ We can never know him lost in thoughts and feelings.
