Maybe one should not be kept on the nightstand until it has undergone an extensive psychological examination...🙄

For the most part yes, just to keep me from accidently shooting myself like this man did. And carrying a double action revolver, that round is only a squeeze away. And I realize that doesn’t work with semi-auto’s.

Right!   (The first shot was one thing, but the next four shots might stretch our credulity a tad!)

Sitting behind the wheel of a motorized cart...>>> yes it is septa in the train station they ride around in them. The station runs from the comcast building at 18th street to eighth street. I think you can take a golf cart the whole way.

I carry with the weapon in battery. It keeps me on my toes. Will this be the day it blows? And I carry AIWB. Hell, I’m old and don’t have that much use for my pecker any more...

The 320 original run has a known and undeniable design flaw. A few actually.

Certain angle drops cause it to fire. There have been many documented discharges with this model

The fact this gun made it to be the sidearm weapon of the military in it original form shows you just how much palm greasing went on to get thay contract.

No, I never saw that one.   That was really something!   (It had a catchy tune there, too!)      :-)

Sorry, not doing Israeli carry. It takes too much time to unholster and cycle.
