what's 'a brace'? Two? Two that match? I bunch? For some reason I think of matching Colt Single Actions in bright nickle (caliber .45 Colt, natch) when I hear the word 'brace'. Patton wore one .45 SAA and a .357 Combat magnum, both with ivory grips. That's a classic 'brace' to me.

While I have a bunch of handguns I am now feeling undergunned 'cause I'm not sure I have a 'brace'.

You got me thinking, I've got a serious pistol, a SA 357 cowboy revolver, a little BUG in .38 and a couple of others in insignificant caliber.

Then there's long guns..

Yes.

Two that match?

Not neccessarily but its nice to have compatible ammo and mags if possible within a worn brace. Micro Glocks back up full sized Glocks nicely and can use the larger weapon's mag.

Andrew Jackson *always* wore a brace. Shot an asssasin off the balconey of the White House, I recall.

Well, if that's a brace, I guess my S&W 44mag and 41mag would serve. Don't have any matched pairs, but eight handguns. Could always use the S&W M19 and the Ruger Blackhawk as a brace too, would eat the same ammo.

I think I have a brace then .... paired Ruger Vaqueros (white micarta grips) in 45 Colt and paired Super Redhawks in 454 Casull .... and yes they can be fired single handed ....

Never know ... I might run into TWO really pissed off grizzlies.
