google london acid attacks

Sorry my comment was ambiguous. I don't think Bruv is in London. I'm aware of the acid attacks, and the fact that defending yourself, even in your own home, can get you in trouble. They even limit the power of pellet guns in the UK.

But it's not violent everywhere and I hope it's safe where Bruv lives.

Right now I have other desires with the gun fund. Tack solution barrel and compensator for my buckmark and a s&w 686-2 6" just because the trigger gets me excited when I shoot.

I've got a 686 6" a local cop that shoots PPC in the USA gave me that he had the S/W performance center do a trigger job on.

I also have 50k in .22lr ammunition alone (another 50k of 556/762/12/handgun/etc, + the million rounds my company buys every quarter from Winchester alone in the magazine at the office).  If the border wasn't a giant PITA I'd boost your .22 stock up.  A lot.

Agreed regarding the civil unrest - it doesn't take much.  The ice storms that shut down Quebec a number of years back for example - they were a couple days away from people having NO food and other essentials due to the power being off 7 to 10 days.  Few people  have cash anymore on hand, and when the little plastic cards stop working due to no sparky, things move from annoying to desperate very fast.  When faced with either starving or stealing, many people will steal.  That will involve violence.

Luckily things are holding together in terms of food and water distributing/etc right now.

I have a six-inch Model 28, bought it for my father in 1974.  Doesn't need a trigger job. 

Recoil bothered me at first, but I put some Pachmayer grips on it, and now it's a dream gun.  Ordinarily I'm a 1911 person, but this one shakes my assumptions.

Face masks!!! 

on a more serious note,  It's very concerning the amount of infections and deaths USA is having, in 2 weeks time I hate to think what they will look like.  Not just in NYC either.    :(

New york city is almost half the deaths in the US.

No one has any idea how infections are increasing as everyone is not tested. Only sick people are tested and not all sick folks are positive.

Texas has around 30 million people and 90 deaths.

Looks like a certain someone is doing his best to flatten the curve of another thread down straight into the gutter. On one hand I think people gathering all this arsenal are crazy, on the other hand people setting 5G masts on fire to "stop the Coronavirus" are equally crazy. Hope you guys with guns also have helmet cams, gun cams, sight cams and such with full batteries and empty SD cards for YouTube.

Oldman do you have a favorite 1911?

I know this question is for Oldman but I'd like to throw my two cents in.  I've been a gun owner for over 50 years and have had 3 .45s.  A Colt model 1911M that I shot competitively, a Remington 1911 Carry, and now an S&W MP Shield .45.  Of the three the Remington shot the best accuracy wise and now I favor the S&W MP Shield 45.  It's a smaller .45, easy and convenient to carry.

I'd look into the S&W MPs' HiTech, they have 9mm models also.  The 45 comes in two models one with a safety and one without.  I have the one without. Small, light and easier to conceal.  Very easy to break down and clean.  Just a suggestion.

My virus " paranoia " is that the economic damage caused by the steps we are taking to minimize damage/ strain of our healthcare system and populous will be much greater than the damage/ deaths the virus would cause as we are plundged into economic chaos.

When others feel that this was a calculated risk taken by an embarrassed China to punish the US and its trade wars of the last 3.5 years and the quelling of the civil unrest in Hong Kong (what happened to that?) which then resulted with a new reserve currency as the dollar is way dead, given the then current mentality of a desperate nation/ world- we are then thrusted into another neverending war.

At that point I don't know if it will matter

At that point your mini miltias will not matter as it will be extreme martial law and unless you think you can take on the national guard your guns and ammo are long gone

That my concern about this whole thing

My best-shooting .45 is a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec, which I had a very good gunsmith accurize and equip with real sights.  But my favorite is a Kimber Ultra Carry (the first model), which has a fuller grip and just feels better.  Plus I can take it with me during the day because of its size.  You know, in case of zombie attack.
