A firearm is a tool that is used to help your family survive. To hunt food, defend the homestead and to otherwise provide for your family.
They can also defend your home by being sold to pay rent. Sadly, this was the fate of my Five-seveN pistol.
That firearm was the best pistol I have EVER owned. It was going to be my final pistol. The one that I can take with me everywhere. It was basically a rifle in a pistol package.
From the sights to the layout, to the firing mechanism and of course the ammunition.
The ammo was unique because one company made it, and they were completely consistent. Now others make it, but I stuck to FN exclusively. Everyshot was just like the last one.
Carrying a round chambered was a challenge. It’s single action. Appropriate leather for concealment is rare. Most leather is duty leather without any concern for concealment.
The muzzle flash from this beast was almost science fiction.
bullet behavior was so flat, so predictable that it was awe inspiring.
As a survival weapon, this was where to be. You can carry lots of ammo at a low weight and space premium. You can use it to hunt if you’re stranded in the wilderness and you can use it to defend against gangs in the inner city (Do you know why a lot of gangstas wear down coats ? It’s basically body armor.)
It was 40 rounds of wild-dog counterattack. Packs of feral pitbulls roamed my area. I was no longer afraid. Dogs don’t respond to bangs. They don’t fall. You need to shred their muscle tissue in order to prevent the attack and you need to do it to all of them.
I would pay $1500 for another without hesitation. at $2000 I would wait but if I had it I would jump on it.
And get a newer generation.
Thank you!
Sounds like I need to rent one.
