Carrying an empty one, would of course, be silly. However, a 2 1/2 lb dry chemical is light and unobtrusive. And, would likely solve a small fire under the hood. Much like a J frame Smith might handle a one on one threat that’s the most likely scenario. But, if you’re going to go through the...

You should assume you will come across a terrorist cell, wherever you go and, carry accordingly. Everywhere. At all times. Or, you will die. Avoid large bodies of water as your greatest threat, carrying a Ranger battle load out, will be drowning. There. I fixed it. And, get a NASCAR as ones...

I don’t believe I ever alluded to that.

I cannot possibly carry everything I “might” need in any scenario.

There’s a point of diminishing returns. You “might” need a Glock 19 and two extra mags to survive an armed conflict. (Honestly, that’s probably not true. If you are facing that many armed and determined adversaries, I’m betting you are dead before the first mag change…nonetheless) Your odds of...

I’ve got a couple Sig P239’s. With the DAK trigger. I carried those, appendix, for many years. I think of them as just flat revolvers.

I’ve owned dozens of Scrades. Usually Old Timer and Uncle Henry Stockmans years ago. I still carry a Schrade almost every day.

True. But. The odds are not zero. There is enough stored energy for the gun to fire. I really can’t say it enough. “I” don’t like it. Many do. The vast majority do not shoot themselves. The chances of all the parts breaking, at the same time are, astronomical. There’s a YouTube video of a...

Maybe the yoke was moving forward when the hammer hit. That would explain replacing it. Either from the screw or, it was cut too short.

If I add shoulder surgery in, I might. I carried a 1911 for years in a Milt Sparks Roadrunner. Tried it the other day and it hurt to draw. A lot.

Appendix is it for me. See all the reasons already mentioned. Plus, if I have to, I can draw with my left hand, upside down, and pull the trigger with my pinky. Optimal? No. But, if my right hand is holding anothers hand that has a box cutter in it… That shot will come out of left field...

The K6xs I bought at Bass Pro was $619. It was exactly what I wanted. I’ve got other short barrel .357 magnums. SP101. Ruger Speed Six. .38 Special was fine in this gun. The all stainless are bumping around $1000.

In descending order. Fun to shoot. Acceptable. Stops being fun after about three cylinders full. I’ll probably just carry the non +P 158 Gr Semi Wadcutters. I’m weirder for penetration than the chance of a HP actually expanding out of a 2” barrel. on an 8” plate, at about 10 yards, accuracy...

It goes against my gut. I know lots of people do. I know they rarely shoot themselves. With cocked and unlocked pistols though, you rely on the gun to NOT fire unless you want it to. If something breaks, it may fire. With a DA gun, I rely on the gun TO fire when I add the energy. If...
