What handgun would your pair up with your favorite Khukuri?

My collection was pretty big before I turned 21--just a case of Dad actually "owning" the guns...I'd just pick 'em out and pay for them. Of course, the his/mine thing didn't really exist. If there was something you wanted to use, you used it--just had to be sure to take care of it and that it was clean when you put it back. :)

By the way, Chopsticks, you really do have the coolest signature line!
 
Y'all picking on this poor old Air Force dude.:( Yes, by golly high capacity autoloader when dealing with two legged snakes. I can hit what I'm aiming at too, even won a couple of combat pistol matches, but "bad dogs" travel in packs. If I'm going to face a multiple target situation, I want all the firepower I can muster. Not just for hit probability, but to give me more tactical options. I might just pop off a couple rounds to get their heads down while I maneuver to better cover. Sounds wasteful, "spray and pray" has already been mentioned by the Duck, but I'm not going to stand out in the street like Gary Cooper with my trusty six-gun. That just doesn't match my understanding of reality in an armed engagement.

Roger that!

For me, I want it "ALL"!! I want BIG bullets, and I want FAST bullets, and I want a whole danged boatload of them.

I don't spray & pray either. Been shooting for right at 40 years now and I can keep the hits inside a paper plate out to 25 yards from two-handed unsupported rapid fire, and a whole lot tinier than that if I can rest the gun get a better sight picture.

In a previous life I used to teach personal self-defense, and the priority of necessary items went like this:

1. Mindset

2. Situational awareness.

3. Threat identification (expect multiple bad guys).

4. Tactics.

5-how ever many: reliable weapons systems, competency, weapon type/caliber etc..

Yep. Gotta expect more than one baddie, and never be surprised if there are a whole bunch of them

In fact, in San Clemente, CA a couple weeks back, three or four Marines had a run in with a similar number of Hispanic gang bangers. The gang bangers left.

They came back and the Marines were outnumbered by about 15 to four. When it was over, one Marine stabbed seven times in the back and chest; two others injured not nearly so bad; and one barely escaped with only slight injuries.

Not a good day for the Eagle, Globe and Anchor I'm afraid.

I wonder if the youngster with all the stab wounds made it. He was listed in critical condition.

Pappy, ain't no way I'm mad at you, sorry if I came across that way. I actually prefer revolvers over automatics. Then again, I prefer my old squirrel gun to an optic site equipped M-4 carbine. I'd prefer to never have to cap off a round in the direction of another human being. Sometimes though, I have to put what I prefer aside.

Uncle, you'd cut a pretty intimidating figure standing in the street with an RPG. I know I'd be looking for an alternate route.:eek: :D
 
Was a time when the Marines would have returned &......! Hurricane Andrew,Homestead Gangbanger in a jeep with two SF troop, mouthing off about what he & his bros were going to do! SF tired ,threw him out at 40,said he looked funny "BOUNCING"!!
the saint!:cool:
 
I forgot. I'd probably have the .38 strapped on just in case things got really tough. I'm good with it. Can hit an elephant at 10 yards.
 
Combat- Glock 24 (.40) and 16.5" WWII.

Huntin', Smith 657 .41 and WWII.

Scountin', Browning Buckmark or Ruger Single-Six and WWII.

(Y'all seeing a pattern? :D)

Marines Attacked, Stabbed By Gang Members (in San Diego) Four Servicemen Jumped By 15 People
NBC San Diego ^ | 8.01.2003 | Staff

SAN DIEGO -- Two off-duty Marines were stabbed, one critically, when they and two companions were attacked by more than a dozen alleged gang members early Thursday.

The fight took place in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., a small Orange County town north of Camp Pendleton. The four Marines, dressed in civilian clothes, left a bar shortly before 12:30 a.m. When they walked past a group of young men near a gas station at Del Obispo Street and Camino Capistrano, they got into an argument, according to Lt. Lloyd Downing of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

Downing said the local men left and came back in cars with reinforcements. About 15 men attacked the servicemen, some wielding knives, he said.

Carter Douglass Caroom, 23, was stabbed seven times in the back and chest, Downing said. Randall Roach, 22, was stabbed once and sustained other, less serious wounds.

Both men were taken to Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center, where Caroom was listed in critical condition, Downing said. Roach's condition was not immediately known, but he was expected to survive, he said.

Steven Brown, 22, and Jason Mack, 27, were able to get away, according to Downing.

Investigators from a sheriff's gang unit were searching for the attackers, Downing said.

Here in the land of sky-blue waters the main threat is from moose - cows in the spring and bulls in the fall. Any khuk or gun is fine, as long as they aren't so big they interfere with high-speed tree climbing.
 
I'm going to stand out in the street with my RPG and nothing else.

Well, at least put on a pair of trousers. I mean...you need a place for spare ammo. :D
 
I would go with a Ruger Bull Barreled Government. It is accurate enough to catch game, and it is easy to carry along with a couple of hundred rounds of ammo.

As for me, my Colt 1911 and Bura 16.5" chiruwa AK will do just fine. I've got all kinds of other toys that go bang too but I like that 1911 best. Had it since '68 and anything inside 25 yards will get a 1/2 inch hole guaranteed.
 
My YCS still tops my charts as my favorite. If I were out deer hunting or with concerns of bear attach, I would pair my YCS with my trusty old Redhawk.
