Hey all thought i'd put out a shout out for these underrated books by Robert Parker. Though his characters are liberal they realize there's a need for guns. Best detective fiction that I've read.
His characters have weapons very fitting of their personalities. The main character Spenser is very much a tool in a toolbox guy.
He carries:
-a S&W .38 snub, which his friends make fun of as being ineffective and his reply is that he knows he'll be carrying it and he's comfortable with it.
-When he knows people are after him he'll carry his Browning hi-power too.
-A four inch S&W .357 is his desk gun/"negotiating tool". He often talks about the beauty of the bluing and walnut grips.
-A shotgun, i've seen ithica and smith and wesson, for house clearing and such.
-When he knows there's range involved he'll grab his .45 Winchester lever action (passed down through the family).
Those are just some I can remember off hand. His thug buddies also have guns fitting their style. Anybody remember any other guns?
