It's Fretwell's Fault

I thought about this for a while, and tested Fretwell's theory at the indoor and outdoor ranges I frequent. Without muffs. As much as I hate to admit it, Fretwell was right this one time. So, I sold the revolver to a buddy for a good price and he also bought my Henry Big Boy .357 MAG rifle I just wasn't using. I used some of the proceeds to pick up a 9mm Walther PPQ M2 TAC, shown in the accompanying photo I swiped from a Walther site. With a suppressor fitted, it's not much louder than a .22LR that's been "suppressor-ized," and therefore usable inside without fear of rendering anyone deaf. It's the same suppressor I used on my 9mm CZ Scorpion Carbine. I'm going to fit a small "tactical" light to the rails on the underside of the lower. New pistol has a pretty nice trigger and appears to be accurate. I got the "Maryland" version, with three 10-round mags. Mine has the Vortex Venom red dot attached, looks pretty much like the red dot sight in Walther's photo. https://flic.kr/p/RieMq7 Suppressors are unsuitable for self defense. Why is that? I understand that is not a CCW gun but in an appropriate case near the bed it is perfect. The extra weight on the end of the barrel holds down the flip for a follow up and the muzzle blast only affects the people you didn't shoot. |
