I think that I can say this without worrying too much that there may be some weak hinges on my door.
Taurus, Ruger, Smith and Wesson and Colt make really good guns. You will not go wrong if you buy name brand. Like everything in life, if you want a Cadillac, prepare to be pay a Cadillac price. Some Cadillac's include Kimber and Colt, they are not inexpensive. They tend to be flawless though, I have a Colt .45 Auto and I don't have any qualms in singing its praises. That gun has stood the test of time and it has stood by me in times of trial: it has been in a holster and a pocket during some of those times too. I don't just talk a tough fight folks, I can fight one too.
See this gun? With me having never touched one, I can tell you that it would get me out of a pack of trouble. It is a .380 Automatic and it hold 15+1 rounds. That means that the magazine holds 15 and you can put 1 in the chamber. That is what +1 means, it stands for a chambered round.(You are one step closer to being a gun wizard now.) It has a blue finish and a lot of people consider that a weakness, but it is not. I have a blued finish Colt and I love it. That finish is what you want if you want a good looking gun, you would be amazed how handsome they can be. This is the Taurus Model 638B-15. (And when you follow the link at the bottom of my blog, you can view a stainless twin right beside it. Just copy and paste the link into your address window.)
Now, concerning that .45 of mine, here is a shot of one like it.
This is a Series 80 and mine is a series 70, the differences are not that great though. The distinction is that the Series 80 has an added safety device, the idea being to avoid accidental fire. I will spare you any superfluous chatter about all of that: you are going to have to research that for yourself. You can do it, don't sell yourself short.
This one sold online for circa $700 and it popped-up at AuctionArms.com and I am posting their Facebook address.
This gun is for the serious-minded and for serious sit-reps. Let's say that you have been targeted by The Big Bad Wolf and you are his next-intended snack. He better just get lost! You friends could be the proud new owner of a brand-new wolf rug if he does not. I am not being way-out there when I say that this gun made the Army a better place to be. So what if the model number is a little different? It is the one that Sergeant York used.
Here is a tid-bit from Wikipedia about that--During the assault, six German soldiers in a trench near York charged him with fixed bayonets. York had fired all the rounds in his M1917 Enfield rifle, but drew his .45 Colt automatic pistol and shot all six soldiers before they could reach him.
Parenthetical Brain Fart:
By the way, read about Sergeant Alvin York if you want to know what courage is. I have yet to see it bettered in story or deed. And I have read some few Medal Of Honor citations. (Did I mention that I talked to a Medal winner? Yes, I know his daughter and I met her at the Campus Christian Center on the Marshall U. campus: located in Huntington West By God Virginia. Who can tell where life will lead you? I never would have guessed it by talking to her. She was driving his car and it has MOH plates.)
(You know, I have a lot of fun in life and I love life: and I love you, as friends. Love will walk through the fire folks, be like me in that way. And keep that .45 loaded too, it can be a pretty good fire bucket.)
So, in no particular order, here I am presenting you with a couple of good guns. Either one will get you through the night or a half-dozen pukes. I better stop now, I tend to wander off the reservation a lot and I am scared of getting lost. So I will just turn this into a three-part writing, you will love it and have fun too.
In closing, I transposed this blog from MySpace, so if I made a few typo's, I am blaming that.
