For people that don't shoot alot, but feel the need for a firearm for "social occasions". Kinda hard to beat a pump shotgun. Don't have to worry about misses go thru a few walls and offing the neighbor lady. With an open choke your aim can be a little off. And the sound a pump makes when you rack it is enough to cause alot of wannabe crooks to rethink their career choices.
A conclusion is the place you got tired of thinking

I'm probably going to pick up a Norinco 1911 Commander, once the Canadian supplier gets some in stock again. 22. LR conversion and it's cheap shootin' on the weekends while still feeling like a real man with a big gun. ;D

For some strange reason I have a compulsion to buy a tactical pistol-grip pump-action shotgun with a folding stock and a clip-on shell holder... Maybe I should stop watching so many action movies. Sure would scare the thieves to see something that looks like it got lifted off the set of Terminator.

Yeah...this doesn't work.  It only announces to everyone, all of which probably want to kill or maim you, where exactly you are.  Very bad idea.  Leave one in the pipe, get the drop, and kill their ass.

Can we say 'shit' here?

Ended up getting the SW1911 108282 (the stainless fixed sights model, I don't understand why they insist on using SKU).

Great pistol, chewed through everything I put through it so far.  Rem UMC FMJ, WWB FMJ, some crappy ass JHPs, burp...

On a more somber note, a local bike shop owner, accidently shot himself (yes accidently)  with a .45

Not knowing much about them, he ,45's atleast. Haven't shot one in over 10 years. According to police all safeties were active and working. I know it had to be chambered.

Supposedly he dropped it while getting other stuff out of his truck for work, struck him in the heart. What would fail for this to happen?
I'll update this later at a convenient time Thank you for tuning in.....

if it did not have a firing pin block, it could have been a weak firing pin spring (you're supposed to replace those eventually).

if it did have a firing pin block, it would have needed to be a more complex failure...

Looking at picking up a Kimber Custom Stainless TLE II

Just trying to decide if the bike fund can spare the cash for a little while.

his brain.

if you own or carry a gun, it is your responsibility to be 100% skilled and cognizant of the weapon at all times.  regular self-training (go to the range) and maintenance are required, plus awareness of what the gun is "doing" at all times.

what failed?  His brain.

why did the gun fire?  it was probably a weak spring with no pin safety or it was on half-cock with one of those old sears with a worn edge and landed on the hammer (since it hit him, it had to be muzzle up)

No excuse.

Well said, 'tizzy.  Just eliminating the weak so the strong can expand.  One less useful idiot to pass over when TEOTWAWKI goes down.

I respectfully disagree.

"Cruiser Ready" is the way to have it stored.

Don't lie to me...I know you don't respect me. Bwahahaha...

I can assume that "Cruiser Ready" is an empty chamber.  No thanks, but to each their own.  In my view, it's the same thing as keeping a 1911 "Cocked and Locked"...it's just logical.

i have a Norinco 1911, but for some reason I can only keep it cocked and rocked.  Can't figure out why.

What do you mean?  I keep my Springer Cocked and Locked because that is the safest.

Cruiser Ready = hammer down on empty chamber, magazine full, slide unlocked, safety off.


rack and fire.

Not for me.  Good luck with it, though.  I would rather disengage a safety (smaller motion) than rack a slide (larger motion which can affect your sight picture).
