Mine ain’t. 3” compact.

I’ve had many varieties - 3”, 4”, 6”, short lugs, full lugs, blued, stainless. The 3” shorty blaster is my favorite. I like it quite a bit.

Seriously.

Sick.. mine was that 6" loooong boi. I tried to carry it daily but it just took up to much real estate on my belt.

I would reconsider and buy another if I could get my hands on the stubby version for sure.

That’s a lot of push daggers. What is your top three?

I don't currently own that many mind you.. more like 4 or 5 at the moment. I have over the years is what I meant to type.. Right now the one I carry is a beater TOPS I Stick. It's probably as unbreakable as it gets at like .31" of 1075 (I think) but I'd still love an infi version. I also like this weird new one I got called Thors Hammer by Toor Knives. There's one by fox with a (kinda) wharncliffe blade in N690. A nice little Benchmade one. A few cheapo cold steel ones (their drop forged one is dope af.. that thing is made 52100) that work well.

I'd say my current favorite is this Sam Eddelman Custom one in N690. I haven't nutted up and carried it yet though. It's pretty expensive.

I could see my dumb ass in practice trying to put a knife in the gun. Lol.

But I like the concept. Be much easier to pull off in winter for sure.

I have grabbed the wrong one when I first started training my current setup.

Not anymore. After while you naturally remember which side is which.

Never know when the zombie apocalypse might pop off and you’ll be underarmed with only the one 15 round mag.😐

I’m all for being prepared but Sh!t. Day to day I carry a GP100 and if 6 .357s can’t do the job I’m running. Either that or pounding their ass with the empty (HEAVY) pistola. I’d only pack speedloaders if I was planning on stuff going really sideways.

The 686+ will give ya one more sweet 357 round.
 
Our Holy Tearer is a scary piece and has a history of saving the day in and off the battlefield.

I have designed a few push daggers and made a number of customs. They can be very effective.

I knew you'd made a few! I was thinking to myself. "There's no way this dude has made all these combat knives and overlooked the push dagger.. no way".

I just couldn't find one ANYWHERE haha.

This thing is cool. Looks like a hard-core ulu knife. Very cool. I would love to find one of these traditionally styled ones you alluded to (must be floating around somewhere).

I would give any amount for a pointy one haha. Good looking out Bossman

I’ve had one and loved it but the cylinder got loose from too many .357s and I traded it off. I could wiggle the cylinder back and forth pretty good at full lockup (Chakka, chakka, chakka) The GPs just don’t shoot loose, ever.

Huge fan of the GP100. Had a 6” and loved, still hate myself for ever getting rid of it. I had an older Smith that did the same thing. Turned out a couple of the side plate screws worked themselves loose. That’s what I liked about the GP, it didn’t have a side plate. The trigger group came out the bottom. Best revolver design in terms of simplicity and durability IMO.

Honestly, I cannot diss a .357 at all. Love the caliber. Bit, I will confess I am fond of my smith & wesson 629. But that is a bit excessive to daily carry. It is for hunting and wheeling.

Load it with warmed over 44 spec and you got a winner. 45 super ballistics with wheel gun reliability. A 3” N frame is a lil on the strong side of carry, but easily doable. Had a 629 3” for 10 years and carried it 75% of the year for many years.

I apologize AriesTheCam AriesTheCam i feel like I threadjacked. Whenever someone mentions wheelguns, I can’t help but go all Elmer Keith on the subject.

I can agree with that. The gp was easily the most durable revolve I've ever owned. Thing is a tank

I'd love to get myself a stubby N frame. These days I've been carrying around a stubby J frame .38 S&W (if I'm carrying a revolver). I would like to get something with a little more pepper if you know what I mean. A small N frame is damn near bomb proof too. I might start looking for one on Gunsmoke tonight lol

This PC 629 is a great carry for the winter time. The comp makes shooting .44 spec a breeze. Super accurate I might add. Smith and Wesson has a great 3” 629 that might be right up your alley. That gun like mine features a great ball and detent lock up system that’s a lot stronger than the old ejector rod lock up.

Yooooo that does sound like a gun I want. I didn't know they made a 3" 629.

The one you got looks great too BTW! Such a nice looking gun

Never purchased a push dagger but would do so with enthusiasm if Jerry put one out in infi. Maybe a res or wrapped version to save $ thru the yard? 🤤

Oh man.. a res-c handle on one would be the best. That would take care of most everyone's issues with them twisting in your hand when you punch with them wrong.

That being said. I'm still buying 2 if he made them in micarta!! Infi is a must

Yes.. res-c all the way. I can only dream lol

I think I helped derail the thread when I talked about carrying. Lol. My bad.


But, when talking about "shorter" guns I always like to look at data of what is actually lost in terms of velocity.

Great website on that front.

But back on 9mm, I have been impressed by it more then 45 when dispatching pigs. I've used 115 grain wold with a high degree of success with my g19, but had some issues with 230 ball 45 acp out of my colt gov. Failing to penetrate enough to be effective.


The most impressed I've been by 9mm was with a 124g flat nose fmj.

I shot a steer with it. He dropped like a bag of rocks. The bullet went through the skull while deforming, and broke through the jaw (I'm guessing it started to deflect somewhere in the skull). I pulled the bullet from between the jaw and skin while I was cutting the head off.

So, for those who claim "9mm ain't enough" I got that steer video, and the bullet.

That being said, I wouldn't mind carrying my 629 with .44 special loads. Just need to get room to reload in general. My only "people" loads I have are 240 grain hollow points. Which I know are gonna over penetrate big time.
