8 round .357 S&W 629 v-comp, it’ll stop what needs stopping.
Oh, the cod piece? :)
Have you watched any of those pranking vids on youtube? Guy on a subway with a sock in his pants and a hidden camera.
None. I’d really love to add a 1911 to my collection, even if it’s that old beater in the picture.
Has the round Rowell type. I must be gripping it too high.
I think it’s somewhat risky for shooters to practice with both single action and double action handguns, then rely on one or the other for self or home defense. In a pinch I want to rely on instinct and reaction.
Now That’s
A Weapon!
No objections.
My Glock 23 .40 has NEVER misfired.
My Model 29 is 70’s Vintage. I want them to bury me with it.
When I was a child, my father told me you can trust the first round with the 1911, but after that you may be out of luck. My brother has several and they all are dependable; but when he buys a new box of .45, he always run the cartridges through the action and discards any that seem stiff. I carry a SW Model 10 4”, which has enough horsepower to suit me and, if there’s a misfire, I can just pull the trigger again.
You are lucky...mine is mid 80’s so no pinned barrel or recessed chambers. Besides that it’s still old school S&W quality.
Subway cops searching the guy?
Consider that STOLEN. Love it.
Unless the cartridge had no powder, and the primer backed out and tied up the cylinder....
You could always rush the bad guy and then pummel him with it.
Granted, we all ought to train for such failures. And carry a BUG.
I really like my WWII Walther P-38 I inherited from my Dad.
Yea everyone seems to talk smack about the Beretta 92, when in reality, it is one of the most reliable guns ever made. It’s size is very nice (as long as you are not size deprived), it shoots like a Cadillac, and in my opinion is one of the most beautiful pistols ever designed. No other pistol looks quite like a Beretta 92.
Plus, it comes from one of the longest standing companies in the history of the planet.
Beretta is an excellent firearms maker, and their over under shotguns are simply a work of art. Seen a documentary on Beretta, and they were showing the guys hand engraving some over unders. Pretty funny to see a artsy hippy in birkenstalks creating his masterpiece on a firearm!
Everyone should own at least one Beretta.
I do, however, recommend that anyone who chooses to carry the Beretta 92 also purchase an inversion table to help the sore back after lugging it around all day.
Bought my 92 in ‘96, and it’s still the one pistol I have that I can shoot the straightest and fastest.
Yes. It’s all semi-automagics.
The Ruger Blackhawk single-action revolvers should be on the list.
