Sam's been wanting to see Batman. Today might be his day. But I don't wanna become some orange haired freak copycat's statistic.

I could put a lot of rounds down range at at an assailant with my Glock. Or I could actually hit what I'm aiming at with my 1911. Or I could play Dirty Harry with my blackhawk 44 mag.

I won't even be able to enjoy the movie

That's funny because there are two places I have always carried. Wal-mart for obviouse reasons and the movies. I've never felt comfortable sitting in a theater with a bunch of dirt bags and 15 year old wast of a placenta. The girlfriend always asked me why do you need your gun at the movies. The day the Colorado thing went down I turned on the news and told her I rest my case...

All of the above.

yea right then everyone'll think I'm the insane copycat suspect

1911, and a spare mag or two.

The .44. Think knockdown in case of body armor. If its a true copy cat, he will have some......

This hands down. I absolutely love the one I just picked up. Strap the glock to your ankle just in case

This will always be my answer, to.

A sig is pretty,

Glock is grand,

1911 is the gun

of the big boss man!

You should carry a handicap in WWF

I felt quite comfortable with the ole 1911 on my hip. Also I was comforted in seeing that there were only 3 other folks in the whole theatre besides Sam and I. I would think a cowardly shooter would want a larger group of sitting ducks.

Oh yea and batman was a good flick too

I carry my karh .45 and some places my snub nose 3.5 inch w/ muzzle break .500 s&w can never be to cautious!!!!

Lol no there are a few spots here that I wouldn't carry less

Last fall my neighbor and his wife come over to shoot pistols, he has a fair number of them. My wife is there, and so is a friend of his from work. He is a big strapping guy I wouldnt want to arm wrestle. Or wrestle. Or mess with in any way. Nice guy though.

We shoot a bunch of guns, and I eventually put a metal plate out about 25 yards and say, lets shoot at that.

He produces a super black hawk in .44 mag and wangs away at it, hits it maybe once. He is shooting a small hand cannon using full factory loads. The precussion and flash from that gun is not very fun.

I crack out my S & W .22 auto pistol with a full clip....and ding the plate 10 out of 10 times. I look over at him and say "its not the size of the gun, its how you use it that counts". Of course everyone got a great laugh out of that one.

I am glad he has a good sense of humor, hes a big burly fella.


Moral of the story: I would rather hit small than miss large. It always comes down to shot placement.

If I knew I was going to a gun fight and could take any pistol in the world to it, I wouldnt think twice about bringing my 1911.

I've got some 1911's but my two sig .45,s are what i put by my head each night. Double action, accurate, one has a rail with a surefire and both are 100% reliable.
Now for a BBQ gun I'd wear a 1911.

Sometimes I like to play with those plastic toy guns, they make me smile. Just because they are ugly don't mean they can't have a place in life.

And you can't pistol whip someone with a plastic gun

I refuse to read an over-sized bold copy & paste.

Truthfully, the world will get over that refusal. But if it makes you feel better, by all means, don't read it.

I have a butt hurt report form ready in case either one of us needs it.

NOW,
MORE GUNS!!!

My butt is fine for now, but I'll let you know if I need that form in the future TK.
I just had to bust your chops for going bold on us.

I like #3 and #5

That's a slick bobtail

I feel like I should have a 1911. Fits my "self image" so to speak, but I just don't like them. I find the grips too narrow to be comfortable.

I could outshoot TK with my glock 22

1911 all the way. I like HK's n can hit with a USP just as well as I can a 1911. They're just too hard to conceal. A 1911 conceals so well and is consistently accurate in my hand. Plus they're intimidating to look at!

I'm still amazed at how easily my 1911 conceals. Far better than the glock 27 I had believe it or not.

I've currently got a HK P2000 in a Crossbreed supertuck and a Crossbreed for my Kimber's (Custom Crimson Carry II and Ultra Carry II) I can carry the Custom with an extended mag more comfortably than the HK. They conceal so well primarily because of the thin design, IMHO.
