haha yes. There is a sign near my home in NV that states something on the order of, "please don't discharge your firearms near homes"
I like that knife I'm a knife nut too - mostly skinners..., with a few Old Timers & Schrades thrown in the mix RN
You really should look into the Sig Scorpion. I weighed out the Scorpion vs a Kimber Warrior, and I'm glad I went with the Sig. Don't get me wrong. The Kimber Warrior is a great 1911, but damned near every guy I know with one has had to send it back over stove-piping issues. The Sig functions like a sewing machine, is accurate, and is about $300 less than the Kimber Desert Warrior. Again, I love Kimbers, but they've got a reputation for having to be sent back at least once to fix the stove-piping problem. After that, they're amazing 1911's.
And you're obviously smarter than the average bear. Striders are top notch knives! Here in FL, switchblades are legal if under a certain length. I own numerous Microtech's as well as others, but a Strider is usually my choice of carry knife besides the believe it or not, Spyderco. Last, you can usually find some great deals on Striders here from time to time: http://www.jerzeedevil.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/20-Knives-For-Sale-For-Trade Hope that helps.
RE 1911A1: I have a US Army 1941 1911 with holster I got from my father. He said Chesty Puller himself killed Japs with it. Not really! It still shoots just fine... Looks a lot like this:
My brother in law has one Too big/ bulky/ heavy for carry Shooting 45 â kicks and has a harsh recoil (even by my standards) Shooting 410 â for killing snakes works fine.., for stopping bigger things, Iâm not so sure about â probably just make them mad(der) The shot pattern disperses pretty quickly Suppose you could use buck or slugs ================================== Imo, it tries to be too many things, yet not really good at any Does make for a good conservation piece RN
Thanks for the intel RN. They promote it as an anti carjacking weapon---- I imagine a 410 to the face at close range would be rather devastating-- even with birdshot. I wingshot doves with a .22 birdshot as a kid but never actually shot a 410. surf
Any .22 as a carry weapon is useless. Hell, as any use other than a varmint killer or mob style killing (into the back of the skull), a .22 handgun is worthless. Just my opinion. If you live in colder climates, it's even more worthless. On a winter day, a .22 probably won't even pierce thick layers of jacket and clothing.
