Ideal Concealed Carry Guns...


McCandless

Recommended Posts

Just some extra time while getting ready for the day, watching a movie on the confuser... Flipped on "Assassination Games" , Van Damme plays a hit-man... takes place modern day... looks like Romania...he's is the obligatory martial arts hand-to-hand fight when both guys go for their ankle holsters.

Well, Jean-Claude pulls up his pants cuffs, covering boots (with lightning speed)... and pulls out... a pair of 7-1/2" barreled Griswold and Gunnison .36 Caliber Cap n' Ball pistols... !! Just what every professional assassin carries :lol:

 

I knew if I held out long enough, percussion pistols would be the new "in thing"... fashionable.

 

Now, where do I get ankle holsters for my Dragoons... :huh:

My 5" 1851 Navies also would be a great carry gun. I actually thought about it! :) Rye

I can see it now....you draw out your 7 1/2" cap and ball pistol and then have to yell out to the intended victim..."Wait a minute...I have to adjust my nipples!"

There's one thing that's really interesting about the Griswold and Gunnison revolvers.

 

For several decades now we've been able to buy "Brass-framed 1851 Colt replicas." These have often been sold, or at least advertised, with the explanation that they were copies of Confederate copies of Colts, made with brass frames due to steel shortages and costs in the South.

 

And there have been a few articles and many verbal claims that this never happened.... that it was a "replica of a gun that never existed."

 

But the G&G kinda refutes that. From Wiki: "The Griswold Gunnison revolvers are copies of the 1851 Colt Revolvers and were made with distinctive brass frames because of the shortage of steel in the South."

 

And there were others.

 

However, the so-called reason for brass frames may not be correct; here's a link to an interesting discussion from a few years ago: False Information Concerning Brass-Framed Revolvers

 

Now, regarding brass-framed Remington replicas.... well, they just may have been tempered in marinara sauce. ;)
