Brutal...

[Ben]

Don't mess with old guys. We fight dirty and got nothin' to lose.

[230RN]

Let's hope you never get old.   

[AmbulanceDriver]

Yeah, I had that holster at one time (before I knew better). 

I still carry my 1911.....   but it's in a custom IWB rig.  So THHHHHHHHHHHHBT!

[RoadKingLarry]

So...I'm guessing the "I carry a Glock" starter kit includes skinny jeans and man bun hair tie.

Chambered in .45AARP?

Who am I kidding? I carry a revolver and I just got my first AARP offer.

That AARP is a nervy bunch, sending people their crap starting at 50.

Fifty years from now, somebody's gonna post something about the guys who still carry slug throwers instead of energy weapons.

I'll be 49 this year. They're jumping the 1911 on me.

Training bra and tactical wheelbarrow.

I don't get it. I carry a 1911, in a dead cow (or dead horse) holster, but I don't recognize those other images. I remember seeing walkers in the hospital, but what does that have to do with carrying the sidearm that defined what a semi-automatic handgun should be?

I think someone who owns a Glock must have 1911 envy.

Gotta start that box of used holsters somewhere. 

[MechAg94]

The only thing more ineffective than storm troopers in the original trilogy were the rebel soldiers (who weren't heroes). 

[MechAg94]

Speaking of holsters.  Perhaps a business idea would be some sort of used holster exchange.  I need to swap unused holsters for someone else's unused holsters. 


That way I can have a different set of unused holsters in a box and claim I got them cheaper at HalfPriceHolsters.com

I think that's called eBay.


It's interesting to me that so many recent articles I've read about the 1911 take care to explain the difference between it and the striker-fired handguns that everyone apparently starts out with now.  

I got interested in 1911s (and guns in general) while in my early twenties, and started carrying a sidearm (a 1911) at the hoary, old age of 36.  I'm an ancient 40 years old at present, and looking to add a new-fangled 9mm to my carry options, probably one o' them plastic, striker jobs. If I live long enough.

You whipper-snappers got it all wrong. The 1911 is part of the CCW Starter Pack. You branch out (or not) from there. Double

They make 1911s in 9mm, you know. Why not carry an old-fangled 9mm 1911?

Why not try something new (to me)? The goal is to have something for when smaller and lighter is indicated, but I also want to branch out a bit.

On the other hand, if you have any cut-down 9mm 1911s, don't hesitate to send them my way.

1911 comes in 3 sizes, if one of them won't do it maybe you could throw your bottle of Midol at them.

[Perd Hapley]

OK, you guys got me. I'm not man enough for John Browning's masterpiece. Where do I go to surrender the weapon?

[just Warren]

My house.

And yes, you'll get a recipe.

Who needs a 9mm when there is .38 Super?
