....or your pistol breaks?
How's your carry piece work as a fistload?
While it had nothing to do with why I chose it, I think my semi-compact baby eagle makes a pretty good club:
1. It's all steel and heavy.
2. Full length dust cover means it won't go out of battery if you jab in the barrel into sombody, or if the gun is dry and locked back you can poke'em with the dust cover/barrel
3. The grip is large enough to stick out below my hand for use in an overhead chopping motion (My magazines have metal baseplates, instead of the usual plastic, which helps this)
4. The trigger gaurd is well forward and square, making a nice little force concentrating point for swinging into someones nose.
Of course it still has nothing on the single action revolver as far as being used as a club goes. I'm sure more people have been effectively pistol whipped with one of those than any other design. If you rotate the gun so the back of the hammer is against the web of your tumb (much like it would be after you fired a round) It's a mean 7.5inch baton on one end (in my case) and a pointy grip kubaton sort of thing on the other. And if you keep a finger in the trigger gaurd it has a little brass knuckle flavor too
So how would you rate your carry peice as a fistload? Did anybody actually take that into consideration when decideing what to carry?
