Possum Stu

Yep! I have a handful of “Bulldog” - pattern pocket pistols I bought for no other reason than I thought they were cool. Most aren’t even functional. My Nagant revolver fits that description as well- cheap (at the time) and interesting.

I’ve got several “bucket list” guns that I’d like to own at some point or another: Browning High Power Freedom Arms Model 83 in one of the 50 calibers 8 Gauge hammered double (realistically it’ll probably be a 10 gauge, since shootable 8 gauges are so hard to find) MP5K (unlikely given the cost of a transferable one…) M1 Garand Ruger Redhawk 7.5 inch Remington 1863 pocket And of course, any time I see a USFA single action for sale, the wheels start turning

I carry a gun for self defense, and have no illusions of being able to fight mutant zombie cartel bikers with my J Frame or my G43 or G19. Reading the thread, it doesn’t appear that anyone else does either. I also don’t carry loose rounds in my pocket for my semi-autos. If I have the G43/G19 on me, it’s one mag in the gun, and one or two spare mags. (When I carry the J Frame, it’s a speed strip or speed loader in my pocket.) I can’t picture a scenario where a few spare rounds in a pocket would be preferable to another loaded mag. But then again, I’m also not shooting locks off of gates, so maybe I’m missing something here. IF I were to carry loose rounds, I’d want them in some sort of container (maybe one of those clear flip top ones that I see some gum packaged in), but that just leads me back to potentially throwing another mag in my pocket or on my belt.
