I’m generally very partial to HK and FN products, so everything I buy ends up costing a fortune. But I’ve always told my wife, I don’t want anything in the house that I’m not 100% certain will work every single time. I didn’t arm up just to roll the dice at the pull of the trigger.
People ask me wtf I have a Mark 23. The answer is simple: when you run out of ammo, you can use it as a club, or for peaceful purposes, such as a hammer around the house.
