FITZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhh, you have hit my hidden nerve.

I HATE trigger guards. They just don't accept a gloved finger. People in America are larger than they were, I think, but our firearms are the same as they always were. Imagine if we made clothing that way. Grrrrrrrr. Just hate 'em. S/S shotgun guards, even winter triggers, fine. At least the d.a. Colt shape is deeper at the front. FITZ !!! Although I would not chop up an older gun, I sure would alter a replacement guard, or alter a new one.

The Super is great, actually great, and Melvin Purvis carried one. Experience.

Moon clips are handy too, but they say they may be less reliable, prone to malfunction in a combat or dangerous game gun. I bought my Redhawk mainly as a wild boar sidearm, for self defense. I was about to get a Dan Wesson for .45 Rowland or .45 Mag., but I think it may have been Paco who advised against the clips. My friend, I only report. One should find his/her own way. The unforseen comes into it, as does one's own nature and behavior. I.e.: my personal choice of staying with 9mm because of what I see as the prospect of resupply through barter, or more unpleasant means, under mortal pressure in an all-out survival general emergency situation sounds prudent to me, now. However, what if the detestable does take place, and 9mm rounds are the new gold. People hoard them, trade them only for food and fuel. There may only be .38 Super, 7-.30 Waters, 10mm, .22 Hornet....and .221 Fireball available for trade!

Of course Squantos, who believes that he is related to Eaker somehow, has an Eaker-like theory that he should only carry firearms in rare or obsolete cartridges, which the dirtball who kills him will not be able to get.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbth...kak!......kak!!

O.K. I'm better now. I do not trust my Mustang anymore either. I think it may be the plastic parts. Some day. The president of NAA spoke about the utility of .22 Mag. in 2" guns. He said it is questionable that they are any better than .22 LR. Louder though! Hey, while being killed, I'd take louder, too!

Forensic pathologist Dr. Fackler states that the .25ACP is better than .22RF in the Beretta pistol because it does not have an extractor...pure blowback....and sometimes they fail to extract, and one must pry them out. Gulp. That has always been the rationale for .25 Auto, along with securely crimped jacketed bullets, centerfire reliability, and quick magazine replacement reloading. He also claims that performance is identical from short barrels, and that only Ball should be used, for maximum penetration depth, which expanding bullets will not reach.

The Squantos carries a lightweight .22 revolver on his ankle, with 50 rounds of Stingers. 'Works for him.

Old M12s are great. Great if yours have the old trigger system. That's the top choice, though I do not recall if they were made in 3" magnum, which may be handy later on, barter wise. There I go again. I know. I know.

The A-5s are great. Remington made that design too. Not only never a problem with the not present gas-operation system, but until the current Benelli shotgun and rifle with its forward mounted gas system....these great old recoil operated shotguns are the only autos which can work with pistol grips...as Mr. Dillinger knew quite well.

Yep, Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Machinegun Kelly, Babyface Nelson....Melvin Purvis...knew what works.

Still does.

Have a nice day, y'all. Count and cultivate your blessings. It gets worse....a LOT worse. If it is to happen, do not let it happen easily.

That sly devil always did accesorize well. :) Be well friend Muttly.

An episode in last season's t.v. show The Unit portrayed a use of the 950 Jetfire. Our Delta fella pulled it out of his jeans and shot a killer spy guy in the chest 3 or 4 times. The bad guy went down, and our soldier stepped on his neck as he called in the frequency and coordinates on the spy radio. Down, but not out.

Of course, if one were to accidentally shoot one's self or another innocent person, they would probably die on the spot.

I have a Beretta 950 chambered for .22 short. After the first few hundred rounds were fired through it it has been 100% reliable with both Remington and CCI ammo.

I have roughly 0% faith in it's ability to stop an attacker, but even so it's better to have along than nothing on those many occasions in summer when only the very smallest gun can be concealed under hot weather clothing. After all any gun poses a threat to an attacker, nobody wants to be shot with any gun, not even a .22 short.
