Good point. One hand free allows one to re ignite their cigar should it go
out for some reason. The 9 mm is an enemic round, suitable for use by women.
Try the 41 mag. Make certain you practice quite a bit.

What is the best gun for yachting? The shotgun can blow large holes in
fiberglass, shoot flares but can be cumbersome. The pistol is easy to
handle
but must be of a large caliber to be effective. My favorite is the good
old
7.62 mm assault rifle. Great range, fire power and visibility - strikes
fear
into the enemy. They tend to get heavy with 40 round clips, but nothing
beats the feel of an old friend pressed against your shoulder and cheek,
the
smell of powder, the ring in the ears and of course the toasty warm
barrel
with the odor of gun oil and solvents!

I personal recommend an HK 91, or a Springfield Armory M1A or M-14. With
40
rounds you are bound to hit something! Hoo-yah! Ah-men!!!


Waste of ammo. For close work, the Browning 9mm is good. I'm a Colt
.45 man, myself. The HK 91 is good, but the M1 or M14 are too heavy.
I don't favor an automatic rifle for close work. I prefer a pistol.
An advantage of a pistol is that it leaves you one hand free for
looting.
