Where are you going to put your .45 on a 100 degree day? In your cargo shorts pocket?
I'm not a weapon expert, but my cousin is a police chief and we have had many conversations about this. I have shot a .22 handgun as well. By the pictures alone, even though I knew it was a real handgun, I was going to make another smart ass remark like - you have a permit to carry that water pistol, but thought better of it.

It just is low profile and it doesn't look its .38 capabilities.



PS What the heck is up with this Thanks button? Do you think a bunch of guys need positive re-enforcement to make us feel good about ourselves. We get that in the News Room or from Ponch It seems a little 70's tree hugger to me.

Does he put his .45 in his pants pocket?

Well I guess that qualifies to speak about stopping power.

Ask me for my money if you want to find out.

The real question should be "Why isn't there a 'no thanks' button beside it ?"
