Very classy outfit.....,but if bad guy trying to rob you has one in their pocket with finger on the trigger I rate your chances as ZERO.
LoL PabloJ, Thanks for your, um, oh so wise and flawless feedback to my post.
Based on my own abilities, and the post you were compelled to make, I confidently bet that I can draw and fire a full-size / full-weight sidearm faster and more accurately than you
I just re-read my original post, and it looks like I neglected to mention my B.U.G. It's 'only' a Beretta Tomcat .32 acp (sarcasm). More than twice I've read here on THR how they are inferior to the lcp and bodyguard, but I've owned it since before those guns existed. My Tomcat has
never failed to function as intended, in 600+ rounds... can anyone say that about their LCP? I'm not doubting, I'm actually just curious (I wish text had tone of voice!) It's also surprisingly accurate, I can hit playing cards with it easily at 30 feet, and I can easily empty all 8 rounds one-handed into center of mass for a softball-sized group from 25 feet. I'm not saying it's THE BEST, -I'm saying it works great for me, and i'll upgrade to something newer when the right deal finds me.
I keep it in my jacket pocket, or when no jacket, it's in my pants/shorts pocket, either way it's in a home-made pocket holster.
In PabloJ's proposed hypothetical 'Bad Guy' situation, I too would already have a proper grip on my .32 acp, and
I practice with it regularly. If it came to it, "BG" would be shot. Yeah "it's only .32 acp"
but it holds eight, and the 1911 would be out before the second or third casing hit the ground.
I really like the range I'm a member-with, they let me practice my CCWs draw/fire
It's comforting to discretely and casually have a hand on my BUG anytime I want. It simply appears that my hand is in my carhartt jacket-pocket either due to the cold, laziness, or for whatever reason. Just the other day I met up with an old friend and fellow experienced-shooter for the first time in over a year, and when I told him with a smile that I had a proper grip on my B.U.G. he too smiled, was surprised, and asked me what it was.
Also... I must say! I just went through this ENTIRE thread from start to finish, and as far as I could tell PabloJ's only contributions to this thread are two posts criticizing mine and one other member's carry methods. He says nothing of his own carry method, (unless I overlooked one his posts but I did search for it!) I have absolutely zero respect for that. That behavior is just downright silly, and smells like troll feces.
If anyone finds an original post by PabloJ that includes his carry system and contributes to this thread, I will happily edit this last part of this post.
R.W. Dale- LoL I tip my hat to you sir.
Also, any "BG" that has his finger on the trigger of his pocketed gun, will probably shoot himself with that in addition to the .32 acp rounds hitting him.... I wouldn't bet my life on that, but maybe a dollar or two
lol, I love these hypothetical BG brain-storm sessions
