The things it does better.... I don't need.  I have better handguns and shotguns and rifles for that.

I am sure that a lot of it has to do with me being old fashioned and growing up with different types of firearms.

If the only gun I could carry would be one holstered pistol... I might feel differently..  that is as fair as I can get on the subject.

and even then... I wouldn't feel too bad with a single action revolver in 44 mag.

But Lazs, you forgot the one thing the auto-chucker has that the revolver doesnt.  

You get to act all cool when you rack the slide and put a round in the chamber.  Kinda like the pump shotgun effect.  I just love it when they do that in movies.  I keep wondering where the shell went from the last time they did that though.  Eh, what do I know.  Must be a special bullet recycler, eh?  :)

Nice gun take it out to the range and pop off 200 rounds. If you have never really practice with a pistol before do some looking around and make sure your grip and body are correct from day 1. Also you can prac this at home with dry firing drills before you go out to the range. My friend has a hk usp and its a great gun. Its just to bad that you didnt get a glock our a 1911 so you could buy a carbine kit for $250 and have some major fun.

Remember, a handgun is only to use to get you back to your rifle.  :)

Thanks.  Had another 1000 rounds of ammo delivered today.  Got another dirty look from the wife.  :D    Can't have to much ammo I always say.

I could only dream having an M14, much less the money to buy one.
