Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns New Carry Gun

With all the food fights here over proper carry guns, I thought it would be a good idea to review my current carry weapons and see if a handgun and leather upgrade would be appropriate. Here's what I came up with. The pocket watch ain't as accurate as my Rolex, but it can double as an impact weapon. Holster is a nice concealable lefty crossdraw. A great pistola for a Texas Sunday morning at Denny's. Frank Hamer would approve.

That's gonna get you killed ON THE STREETS.

Yep. I carry one at the Ranch almost every day in .45 Colt. Certainly not on the streets, though

When did they start chambering those in 9mm?

And so do I. Very nice rig.

you fool its a hand to hand combat weapon like brass knuckles.....he isnt gonna shoot anyone, just pistol whip them

Very high in style points! If that is your Denny's gun, what are holding back for barbecues?

They are damn good for Pistol whippin! Had to use mine to get one of our Angus bulls off Dad once when we were loading them in a stock trailer from one of our small cattle pens.

This one. It can be touch and go with the crowds at Black's BBQ in Lockhart on a Saturday afternoon. Might need a few extra rounds if something goes down while I'm munching out on the combo plate. With my back to the wall, of course.

Just like an 1851 Navy. But different.

Skeeter Skelton told a story of being out javelina hunting, when he got a call of a drug bust. He was then sheriff of the county in question, and joined the bust. He was first to the smuggler's car, and drew his hunting revolver - a Super Blackhawk, then pulled the door open. The guilty party sat perfectly still while Skelton removed a mason jar full of heroin and a .25 automatic from his lap - later admitting he'd planned to shoot it out if arrested, but changed his mind when he saw, "the biggest gun I ever see"

My beat-down gun. I guess it would do for CQB as well as BBQ.

Go over to the S&W Forums and you have 10K people carrying 5-shot J-frames... Go over to the KelTec Forums and there are an equal number carrying .32s and 3ATs...

I'll take a SAA any time...Bob

I wouldn't carry a Kel Tec to a [bleep] McDonald's and I don't eat at [bleep] McDonald's. A Kel Tec is a [bleep] Safariman Special.

It's called a "ladies version" Nice looking rig, sir!

Your BBQ joint sounds like this place with these guys, or maybe Nuttal & Mann's Saloon.

I was out shooting several weeks ago a couple of colt bisley s.a.a.'s in 38wcf. Both had been used to kill a man once upon a time, among other things.
One i hadn't shot since i was about six. At least four out of five pop cans at over 20yards. I was telling my younger son in law, they are real sweet to draw, quick to point, and you can rapid fire them pretty darn quick if you know how to do it.
I don't think anybody argued much over a 250grain .45slug centerpunched in the chest.
Now if i lived in fergerson or chicago maybe a belt fed rifle would be better.
But i would NEVER underrate the skills of someone proficient with one of those ol hawglegs.
Now for the younger folk, there are those a.k.47 pistols with a 74round drum magazine that kind of get your attention.
