What Buck,What Gun ?

Here is my normal EDC stuff. I'm kinda slow getting dressed for work in the morning. It's tough getting it all stuffed down the front of my pants. I just take it slow.

Tonight in the Ocala Star Banner was a report of a failed home invasion. A 54 year old brother was sleeping on the couch when 2 masked bad guys broke in about 2;30 am. He had a 25 cal.[unnamed] under the couch and when the bad guy pointed a gun at his little brother he fired 3 shots point blank at him. The bad guy ran out into the yard and feel and died with the gun in his hand. Police did not charge the good guy they said it was self defense. The cops got the bad guys phone and when his 4 accomplices called in the cops answered they went and arrested them too. A mouse gun worked in Ocala tonight!!!!
 
Let's put the Austrian Gaston Glock in perspective. He started his company - making curtain rods - about the time the Buck 110 was first marketed. He started making ammo belts and practice hand grenades - for the Austrian Army. His 17th patent, in 1982 - and first 'safety' handgun - was a 9mm plastic bodied he named '17' and sold first to the Austrian Army - eventually to many LE organizations. That is what developed Glock's following. The US military chose Beretta, an Italian arms company with employment records back to Columbus's days, for their 9mm. S&W offered their Sigma line as a 'copy', only to lose a lawsuit and have to change it. The Afghani LE & military employ that. S&W's latest is their M&P line - a totally new firearm - and it is receiving wide acclaim and acceptance. Glock downsized some of their large frame (10mm & .45 ACP) grips to make them acceptable to more hands. In a similar vein, they introduced a shortened .45 ACP they called the .45 GAP - not a commercial success. Most LE departments still prefer the proven G17. Militaries still prefer metal. Me, I want a revolver!

Hey, they all have a function. Any CCW, if it makes you feel better, will make you less of a victim. Whether it's a 655 short Nighthawk in your waistband, a 110 in your pocket, or a firearm holstered/pocketed, you will walk with a different, more confident, demeanor. Bad guys don't want to get hurt - they don't have workman's comp - they only want to rob/molest an easy mark. Now, home invaders - a 12 gauge is an appropriate way to deter them, although answering the door to a Jehovah's Witness or the UPS deliveryman with one in hand will not make you popular. The racking of a pump 12 gauge is a known aural deterrent. Be safe!

PS The Canadian border gal was a cutie. The worst US agent was at Toronto's airport. I had nothing but my DL. He said he needed more - after five minutes of questions, I finally showed him my airline ticket and said "If I didn't have to go to Birmingham, would I?" "Next!", he replied. He had blocked the eastern Indian chemistry professor and his family that were ahead of me.
 
Speaking of guns, I ordered this one today!

Uberti Cattleman .357.

Which Buck do you think will go best with it? :D

That's tough Bear Claw. I've pondered the same question with my Ruger Vaquero.
 
Buck Knife-Your choice.
Pistol-Walther PPK 9mm Kurz or Glock 17.
Rifle- H&K 91 or 93 or a G-3.
You're all set. ;)
 
regarding the cheap KelTeks as being unworth of serious carrying, it wasn't that many years ago that everyone laughed at the Glocks.. Now whos laughin all the way to the bank?
I have been carrying and competetivly shooting Glocks for a few years now and have had absolutely zero malfunctions. Somedays putting 500 rounds plus down range. They are durable, don't have to worry about corrosion, very acurate (better than most people that shoot them).
They are also very easy to work on if needed or if ya just want to change things..

Someone mentioned high dollar 1911's not working. The problem is some of the custom makers build their pistols with very tight clearances to try and increase accuracy.
I have carried and worked on 1911's for some years now. They too are a very simple gun to work on. If the gun doesn't have any severe fitting issues, usually all thats need is a good thorough cleaning and replace all the springs, and use good mags.
Hell I carried a Colt U.S Army 1911 that was made in 1918, for about 6 months.
All I did was completely disassemble the pistol and clean lube, replace the springs and used good mags. It wasn't a world class target gun, but it would always put the shots right where I wanted them to go. Never failed once either....
 
Uberti?

I suppose some sort of cheap stiletto would be a match.

:D

It would be sacrilegious to carry a 124 with anything but a Colt Peacemaker.

Matching ivory handles would be cool.
