No, I carry either a .22 or a .38 Special.

Occasionally I'll carry a 9mm or a .357 Mag.




But nothing that starts with a "4"?  Good grief, you euro-weenie, you might as well not carry anything!

Bigger holes don't mean squat if you can't hit what you're aiming at.......and us .35-caliber afficianadoes can afford to practice more....  cool

Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that .35 caliber is smaller than .45 caliber.

That's why I like the .35's......  grin

skid mark,

I believe "fenestral" (pertaining to windows) is the proper term.   smiley


Can't you all take a joke (or a difference of opinion) on caliber choice, number of rounds to keep on your person, etc.?   rolleyes

How's a .38, .357, or .22 Euroweenie?

All three were deveoped here in the US.

Oh, silly me, I forgot...

Unless the bore of one's handgun is larger than one's penis, you're a Euroweenie.

"Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that .35 caliber is smaller than .45 caliber."

Yes, and .45 is SMALLER than .50!

What are you, some sort of sissy Europunk trash who doesn't care about being a Frenchy nancyboy and who sits around sipping Perrier water and waiting to surrender to the next next individual who goes "BOO!"

Is your manhood that unimportant to you that small children will look at you and call you pansy?

Is your life that unimportant to you that you would carry such a weak, antiquated, and ineffectual "weapon"?

It seems to me that you'd be better off carrying a Fairy Wand and errecting magical Fairy Dust barriers to keep bad guys at bay.




You know, EVERY time I've been accosted at the range by some know it all who starts spouting off about how a .45 is the ONLY gun for defense becuase... well, because it's BIGGER... it's turned out that super know can't hit the broadside of a bull with a barn.

%()*&^$()*&$^ing 'tards.

Yeah, someone did that to me ONCE. "That's a little gun!" then the mentioned bit, regarding my P7.

It happens to be the gun I shoot best. In response, I put the silhoutte further out, and proceeded to do a tight group in the upper chest...one-handed. They went away. smiley

Now, now.  No one's saying that carrying a 9mm makes you a weenie.  Not at all. 

It's just that if you carry one, then we know you were already a weenie to begin with.

That's how I normally deal with them, too.

It's always the ones who can't shoot who pull this crap.

I was taking guff some some assclown years ago for shooting a revolver.

"Eh, you only got six bullets (that was a signal of what we were dealing with right there). I'll still be shooting while you're reloading!"

When he pulled his target in from 10 yards it was apparent just WHY he needed high capacity magazines. Of about 30 shots, I'd say a good third of them were pure misses. The ones that did get into the kill zones were obviously random. The guy didn't have groups, he had patterns.

He was PLENTY pissed when I told him good marksmanship with 6 rounds is a lot cheaper than poor marksmanship with 30. But, after seeing my 12, all in the kill zone at a similar distance, he kept to himself, and that's what I cared about.

Eight rounds doesn't work for me.  I'm always attacked by gangs of nine or ten, and it's too much hassle to line up two of them for one shot.  I realize Quigley did that, but he had a Sharps and lots of time.

Just carry a Tokarev and you can shoot through two at once. grin

Actually, a gang of four would do you in if you insist on Mozambiquing each one (as you properly should). grin grin

Oh, there's no help for you.  You could Mozambique ten targets, with two extra shots in the pelvic cradle, with a double-stack 1911 in .50 GI.  At 100 yards.  In five seconds.  And you would still be a weenie. 

I thought that would go without saying.  Tongue   angel


Edit:  My only handgun right now is a .38 Special.  And it don't even work good.  So I guess I'm a weenie, too.

If I were to carry all the handguns I have, it would probably end up like that scene in "I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka". And that would not be overly useful. smiley

I could always carry both vintage Soviet Tokarevs crossdraw and use both at once, which would provide a lot of fireball and noise, but they're not particularly accurate... cheesy

Should have included the winking smiley, as I was just kidding.  This is one of the more tired arguments, ranking up there with any other caliber debate.  FWIW, I carry a 9mm or a .38, depending on what I am wearing.
