I'm officially an old guy

[dtf08]

I haven't posted or viewed the sight in a while. I was doing maintenance on my edc gear when I suddenly noticed that I've turned into my father.

Three posts in eleven years? Welcome back.

Revolvers have excellent stopping power and reliability.

And no, you don't have to be old to use one effectively.

Its hard to beat a wheel gun, a slipjoint knife, and a fountain pen. I failed to take a pic of my pocket watch and metal matchstick holder. Does anyone else edc old school?

I'm 30-something, and I edc a revo.

I am 40 and EDC a wheelgun of some type about 60% of the time. Nice to see somebody like me who likes plain service grips with no "adaptors".

Funny- we joined THR at about the same time.

Where's the pipe and the tobacco pouch? Come to think of it, I've been carrying those since I was 16, so never mind.

It's a stereotype that only the "old guys" know about revolvers. Things are changing. There are those who appreciate making rounds count and the timeless reliability of the personal defense revolver, and they aren't always the same people waiting at the Wal-Mart gun counter at 7AM each morning waiting on the lady to wheel out the cart of .22LR!

Yep, old school and proud of it.

Maybe it's a KS thing. I'm in kc, but on the Jayhawk side of the border.

I might as well show my backwoods carry gear.

A few of my snubs:

 

[Tallball]

Wow! Super nice snubs!

old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyways

 

[NorthBorder]

So Stoky, was that cap n' ball your first EDC?
A wheelie is all I have ever carried for years... until I bough a LCP last month. It's just too easy.

 

[stoky]

lol
sometimes you need a smoke screen

 

[ArchAngelCD]

I'm an old guy and fine with it. I carry a snub nose revolver daily and if I think I need more I carry two.

 

[dtf08]

What's with all the rubber and neoprene? Us old guys need blue steel and wood stocks in case we have to buffalo a varmint or two.

 

[OilyPablo]

I'm an old guy and I still carry semi autos. I need to modernize and go with a snubbie.

 

[north east redneck]

Just hit 40, always been into wheel guns. Recently convinced the old man to put down them new fangled autos and try a wheel out. Not sure he is convinced yet, but at least he has one now.

I just turned 63 and I'm still carrying .44 Spl. wheelguns - almost 30 years now. I haven't found anything available in a snub that beats the .44 Spl. While I love 1911s and have built them and competed with them for many years I still prefer a snub big bore for business use.
