Because your gun matters when they pull theirs on you first...
My dad has a 92FS. Great pistol. :thumbsup:
Internet tough guys sigh.
Until some 90 lb crack head 17 year old puts a 9mm hole through your aorta for the $20 in your wallet.
I m 6'3" 220, have black belts and Im a formidable fighter, especially owing to my mind over matter mental conditioning. I still carry an HK .40. None of the above means squat when your body is physically disabled and unable to function mechanically by someone half your size with no regard for another person's life, liberty, and property.
You must live in a real shithole if you have to worry about such things.
Besides, if the 90 pound kid is gonna shoot you...he's gonna shoot you...odds are, you won't have time to defend yourself with your handgun...unless, that is, you're Quickdraw McGraw.
I'm 30, I don't know a single person who would have ever needed the following
1) A first aid kit.
2) A fire extinguisher
3) A fire alarm
4) A carbon monoxide alarm
Yet everyone I know has these things. To assume you will at some point in your life need these items IS being paranoid.
Other paranoid items I own that I will probably never use.
Weather radio, hand crank flash light, bottled water/MRE food (anyone who had to live though a time where they couldn't reach a store is with me here), UPS backup systems, Gas generator, jumper cables, portable battery charger/jumper, network backup storage, off-site backup, home alarm system, dead bolt locks, steel security doors on outside, a spare tire in each car, full coverage insurance (really, like it could ever be my fault....), home owners insurance, flood insurance, computer antivirus, etc. The list goes on and on.
I was taught to be prepared.
Here we go again, see my previous posts in this thread. If you let someone you don't know just walk up to you with their hands concealed, especially under strange circumstances like out alone, in the dark, etc, and you don't keep your distance or present a defensive posture, then you have already failed. If you give someone the chance to draw on you first, you better hope all they want is your wallet.
I don't like it too much honestly. The hand grip is massive. The Army could definitely move to another pistol and be better off.

If you see me reaching in my pants, chances are something very unpleasant is about to happen.this thread needs more penis
Good.
That keeps you from fucking around.
I currently live in Virginia, grew up in Minnesota and have been all over the world and much of the U.S. Believe me when I tell you people are LOT more fucking respectful in places where a sizable portion of the adult male population is licensed to carry.
The notion we should all get along and everybody's basically good inside is utter complete crap. Human beings are inherently selfish (part of the survival instinct) and unless they were raised properly by loving yet firm parents, theres a pretty good chance they are assholes and possibly dangerous if they never learned respect for human life.
Guns acknowledge the imperfections of the world. They dont make the world a bad place. They are inanimate objects.
They did, many years ago. The Navy got all their hand-me-downs. I know. Its what I used on guard duty the whole time I was in.
And you can get replacement grips. But not for a duty weapon, obviously.
What, you don't open walnuts with the firearm?
