mmmm...Monday morning gun-porn...

[cizinec]

I’m selling all my firearms and I’m letting the entire world know it every chance I get.

If anyone sees me shooting, I either borrowed it from a friend or I am having my last go before selling.

[Spktyr]

Ah, the BHP, my personal favorite and still the pistol I shoot most accurately with. Only “problem” is that it is in 9mm or .40, and doesn’t translate well to .45.

For those with a similar issue, turns out the Springfield XDs have ergonomics and grip very, very, very, very close to that of a BHP, even in .45.

OK....

Wanna’ tell us why? Or why it’s important to “the entire world”?

My next purchase is a Springfield XD.... haven't decided on the model / caliber yet.

Here's what my 9mm looks like. Holds 15+1 rounds. Shoots nice. I also have the same weapon in .40 short and weak.

[Spktyr]

Um... you do know what the nickname for those is, right?

I do hope you don’t use it for anything critical like carry.

“I also have the same weapon in .40 short and weak.”

You kind of have that backwards, don’t you?
9mm is tame/lame compared to the ballistics of .40.
I’ll take my Glock .40 over my 9mm any day.
They both run behind my .45 Rock Island Compact Tactical!

[Spktyr]

Short and weak compared to .45.

IMHO, .40 S&W is the answer to a question nobody should have been asking. :P

[CholeraJoe]

“40 Short and weak” is the nickname FBI agents who use 10mm or 45ACP gave to the .40 Smith and Wesson cartridge. Compared to those, I guess it is. Of course it’s more robust than the 9mm.

[CholeraJoe]

Nope, just targets. My carry weapons are a Ruger .357 or a Taurus Judge in .45 Colt/410 shotgun.

[Shooter 2.5]

I really like this pistol. It has good sights and a good trigger. The slide release isn't quite right for my hand but I'm getting used to it. It's designated as my IDPA qualification pistol.

I do have trouble with the leather holster since it's new. I should swap it for a BladeTec.

[Shooter 2.5]

I’m going on a fateful canoe trip and taking every single gun I own. I have a strange feeling things are going to go bad. :)

[OKSooner]

What holsta do you use for your Taurus?

[CholeraJoe]

I have a horizontal carry shoulder holster for it. I can’t remember the maker. It cost about $30 when I bought it.

[Shooter 2.5]

My only problem with it is it’s not stainless. I have yet to find a manufacturer who makes them. Plated nickel yes, but no stainless.

I also don’t have a problem with it in 9MM. Sources for .45 Auto are drying up and owning a 9MM is good sense.

Plausible deniability.

I’m going on a fateful canoe trip and taking every single gun I own.

My expert opinion is that you don't own enough guns. I couldn't get me and all of my guns into a standard-size canoe. It would have to be one of those big war canoes that the Polynesians use.
