Not that I was ever issued one, mine was a typical worn out WWII black market one, $50 in 1971. Surely stolen from someone. I could not hit rabbits in the razor wire perimeter at about 35 feet, yet I fired expert on the M-16 at Ft Polk. But then pistols are hard to shoot. Especially rattling old war relics firing antiquated yet mighty ammo. I guess it gave me a warm feeling on dark nights maybe. Pure psychology. Just before I flew back to the world it was stolen from me before I could sell it on. Lie, cheat and steal: prepare for a civilian career.

Basis is if I can't headshot a squiggle at <br />30yds with that, why bigger then. That and backyard <br />mini-sniping, trying to hit a bottle cap and similar at <br />15 out to 50yds)for fun. <br /><br /><br />Eck!Eck!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13890237094647111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-51206916101496184362021-04-09T09:32:27.383-04:002021-04-09T09:32:27.383-04:00I have pistol hunted with .357; it is a challenge ...I have pistol hunted with .357; it is a challenge not unlike bow-hunting. And a Glock would have the punch, not to mention ten more rounds, which might a good thing if you're goin' after bear though like bow-hunting it won't do you much good with deer or elk: you're either gonna' get it on the first round or not. Sprayin' it is more likely to wound it where it'll crawl off somewhere you won't find it to die (if not eaten alive by scavengers).<br /><br />I don't understand why people, even gunners, don't make the connection between hunting and sniping. That's the root of my comment, actually something m'g'da said, lo these many years ago. I'm not in a "militia", have been deemed unfit for military service (grant, 50 yr ago) ... I don't need military hardware. I've got a good 30 caliber huntin' rifle (actually a revolver) and an old k-frame, neither of which I actually "need".

I'm not a fan of the Kraut Plastics, but if somebody could have only one gun and wasn't terribly interested in things, a Glock 19 is hard to beat. <br /><br />However, maybe after this pandemic panic shit is over. A year ago, Glock 19s were going for about $200 over MSRP. Model 10s can still be had, but the pricing there is also into the stupid levels.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-83364864295300069582021-04-09T07:44:12.909-04:002021-04-09T07:44:12.909-04:00Anyone who owns a gun and doesn't have both a ...Anyone who owns a gun and doesn't have both a S&W .38 and a 1911 isn't a true American.<br /><br />So I was having lunch one day with a bunch of lawyers and a couple of judges. One of the younger lawyers said he'd bought a 1911. One of the judges asked "you've never had one?" The lawyer said no. The judge stood up, gestured towards the lawyer with his right and and said "Bless you, my son, for today you become a man."Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-83923931107498160542021-04-09T03:58:00.035-04:002021-04-09T03:58:00.035-04:00Credit where credit due: score one for double-ough...Credit where credit due: score one for double-ought.<br /><br />All anyone ever needs is a good huntin' rifle and revolver ...Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342911380840320087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-32794250073879430572021-04-09T00:05:45.766-04:002021-04-09T00:05:45.766-04:00Garland is no better.
