Don't blow your foot off

my brother spent 13 months humping it in Nam , came home , went rabbit hunting and shot himself in the foot

what are you putting in that pocket , an S&W .38?

Taurus 9mm.

Taurus 9mm.

Nice. For the price great gun.

I agree, great guns for the money.
I don’t see much point in spending a lot of money on a self defense pistol.
All I need is something that doesn’t jam when I shoot it. It isn’t like it needs to be accurate at long distance.
The wife has a SCCY in 9mm that is purple.
Besides it being purple, my biggest complaint with it is no safety, just a really long trigger pull.

a small revolver , easy to handle , lightweight , leaves no brass laying around , is what Swede likes….

Sharing genetics is what has always made the boards special.

My wife has a ‘pretty’ Sig P238 Rainbow. Nice little gun, smooth light trigger but she doesn’t carry it. Ever… I thought if I got her a gun that was like a piece of jewelry, she might carry it.

I carry a S&W 45 Shield with an Apex trigger kit(needed in MA because they won’t sell any guns with less than a 10 lb trigger). Less recoil than my S&W M&P 9 compact.

I have a S&W chambered for .357 but also .38 I haven’t shot it since I lived in Ga where I mostly used it for .38 snake shot. We had a lots of bad ass snakes down there I could never miss with that snake shot spray…
Mine is pretty early. I bought it for my 21st birthday. 1960 model just like me. Model 19 K frame if you know them. Its blue with a six inch barrel. I agree a small revolver is awesome and I feel very comfortable with this one guarding my house from the boogie man…

Que Walter and his "ring of the potty" speach.
I'm a vintage '55 myself.

 

[SubmarineGirl]

I’ll take the potty speech… potty ring on my ass is better than my sh*t getting closer to the bowl water every day

Dunked a few hats,shirts,and phones this summer. What a bummer.

 

[Flower]

Chickenfeed found a shirt hanging in a tree while he was fishing the bank of the Ohio River.

He is very proud of the shirt, here he can be seen modeling it poolside.
I myself believe the shirt was left behind because someone wiped their bum with it after an emergency #2.

I have never heard of the guy, but after a quick google search, I definitely see a resemblance.

I owned a Blackhawk in .44 for several years. I finally sold it because I rarely shot it. I do, however, still have a Marlin lever action in .44.
It was once my go to deer gun, until I bought a Ruger American in .450 Bushmaster a couple years ago.
The .450 can be seen leaning in the corner while I trim and watch out the window this past deer season.
I have killed more than one deer in the front yard.
