Author Topic: WheelGun or Semi-Auto? (Read 1512 times)

Which one do you carry on the streets and why?

I carry a S&W model 60-9 (wheelGun)because:

They don't jam.

If I have a misfire all I have to do is squeeze the trigger again.

I can fire it through the clothing in my pocket and not worry about the slide getting caught in the lining.

It's easier to grab in a hurry because the handle is not up as tight against the skin as an auto.

I always know what state of readiness it's in.

It's not picky about what kind of ammo it's feed.

The barrel doesn't move so it's a stabler shooting platform.

Easier to clean then an auto.

Also, what kind of holster do you use: paddle, pancake, shoulder, ankle?

Is it leather?

Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?

Glock Model 29, 10mm sub-compact.

Small, dependable, good safety features, basically a .40-cal "magnum", very easy to keep and maintain.

Got it when they made the law about 10 round mags. Figure still a good idea to keep it with the 10 rd mag..... in case I am forced to use it, so some overzealous prosecutor, or family lawyer in civil case, won't try to hang me for having 15 rds in my older .40 Ruger P91DC (my former concealed carry tool).... just because they are legal again (and were still legal to have during the ban by grandfather clause) may not matter in the unreality that is a court of law.

Similarly, I never carry reloads. Factory only. Cor-Bon usually.

Paddle holster.

20 years with CCP's from 3 states. Never needed to use it.

Any of you tried one of the .44 Cal ultra-lights, If so what did you think of them?

Also, any of you ever been shooting a revolver and think you have a misfire so you squeeze the trigger again then find that misfire was really a hang-fire and it blows up in your hand?

Do you know what a "ninja" is in prison?

Debonair · « **Reply #8 on:** February 09, 2007, 12:30:04 AM »

when you get out of jail how about you wash up & then tell me about it

Xargos · « **Reply #9 on:** February 09, 2007, 12:36:02 AM »

lol, I worked in one.

When we would get ready to roll on an inmate they would wet their T-shirt and wrap it around their head because they knew they would be gassed before we struck and we called that "ninjaing up". Any time I hear that word now I think of someone about to get rolled on.

Some of them would smear their feces all over themselves thinking we would be afraid to grab them.
