"HA" Story thread... gone to gun thread

I love firearms discussions as much as oil. :)
So, when can you switch to synthetic oil on a semi-auto?

LOL

BTW: I'm considering a Ruger LCP for my concealed carry. Any thoughts?

I want to know what "canceled carry" is.
I have a Ruger LCP that I carry when riding.It is very concealable and rides very well in a pocket holster.I hardly know it's there.Google" elsie pea"for a good forum dedicated to the LCP.

I love the M1911 and it's iterations...but the super redhawk alaskan looks cool. An LCR might conceal a little better though.

Hey Greg, I didn't know you were such a bad-ass to be able to ride with an outlaw gang.

Once around us he couldn't go any faster around other traffic, so we rode staggered for a couple miles behind him through the city -- stopping along with him at stop-lights and such -- as if we were in his group. LOL!! (We couldn't really slow-down because of other traffic -- so we had to keep-up with him. We had no where to go, besides turn-off in a "not so good-side of town" -- and that wasn't going to happen.)

Once he turned off he nodded again... which, like I said, is pretty rare.

Anyway... I am just real happy he didn't take the long rope (with a heavy-metal bead on the end of it) that was hanging from his right-grip and whoop my @ss or something like that!!

Yeah... I'm a 1%er. Just can't seem to keep it a secret any longer!!! LOL!!

Bet he wouldn't have hung with you that long if you were on your nomad.

Ruger Elsiepea! A great little pocket pistol for serious social intercourse. As safe and easy to use as a wheel gun but with slim lines and capacity of an auto. Round is vastly under-rated but will and DOES perform marveously when the chips are down. Still have the single ejected case. Bullet went with perp.

I was thinking of getting a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454. That is serious social intercourse...

Wow that is big. I am trying to decide among 3. The S&W MP .40, Sringfield XDM .40, and the Beretta PX Storm .40,

it will be my bedside/ CCW but I am not buying a compact model. I want a full magazine

One round for the Casull .454 is almost as *big* as the LCP. LOL!

Get a Sig Sauer in .45. Keep 185 grain +p's in the clip and be happy.

I'd use warmly loaded .45 colt most of the time. Something like a 260 grain hp at 1000ft/sec. won't kick so much and provide all the excitement on the other end. I'd save the .454 rounds for the speed loader...At that point, whatever gets by the former is probably armored...

Why not go for the X-Frame S&W 500 Magnum? You can get it in 4", 6 1/2", or 8 3/8". Double/single action in SS. If I hiked in bear country I wouldn't leave home without it.

that is why I keep my .270 rifle for. When they get out of pistol range they better have a damn fast car cause that little gem is accurate up to and including 1/4 mile, maybe farther. 1/4 is as far as I have personally gone.
