and just about as easy to manuver in tight areas.


Yeah but it's difficult to wear discreetly under a sports
jacket.

I'm not necessarily talking concealment, just discretion &
style. And one can wear a moderate sized pistol on a belt
and still carry out work requiring both hands & some
exertion (climbing around on & under machinery for example).


A tactical sling works well on the AR, you can use both hand and not
have the weapon flopping around.


And in the course of everyday life taken a turn for the
worse, what possible scenario requires a 30 round clip?


A pack of 3-4 kick in burglers..multi intruders ect. Houston ever
since Katrina has had a rash of violent gang type murders robberies.

If
you can't solve the problem with eight bullets (or more
realistically, just two in the right place) then you
obviously ****ed up really *really* bad.


Not so, and if someone boards the boat in the middle of the night, it
might take me 3-4 rounds to get on target. The person ****in up is the
one forcing entry ect. Last time someone boarded my boat in the middle
of the night it was 3 people.

An assault rifle is
for assault, not personal protection.


I wan't to assault the hell out of anyone who I feel a need to point a
gun at.


.... A 10 mm Glock is pretty bulky too.


Yep.
Plus I have never been comfortable with the idea of plastic
guns. Perhaps I should look into carbon fiber ones

More cops carry Glocks than any other auto

If you need to conceal.. then a Walter PPK or Colt hammerless pocket
pony are good choices.


My personal fave is the Colt Mustang .380 which is a baby
M1911 even to the way it breaks down. Accurate, safe,
reliable... not hammerless though.


Seen em..nice
