FR Gun Club: The Cornered Cat

My wife has always favored the .38 Special Charter Arms 5-shot 1-3/4” barrel. Says if it's good enough for John Lennon, it's good enough for her. At at any range up to about 15 yards, she can punch your lights out with it!

I don’t know what kind of shorts you wear but a lightweight SW J frame is easy to carry in a front pocket. I do it all the time. Also cargo pants pocket, my favorite way.

freepersup.

Yes, a purse carry is an option but retention is a problem with that method.

I’m thinking of inventing ( in case it hasn’t been) the UTB carry. (under the boobs) :^)

David Berkowitz (aka Son of Sam) also used a Charter Arms revolver. “Street Proven.”

Actually though I have seen my female cat, surprised by a German Shepard in our yard, puff up, back him down and chase him across the yard. Until the dog ran out of room to run, then, cornered, he turned, puffed up, and chased my cat back across the yard and over the fence. Funny as hell.

I can't emphasize enough the addition of CT laser grips to my S&W wheel gun. I went from accurate to deadly accurate. What a confidence builder when it is your carry-gun. ;)

Great thread! Thanks for the ping Joe.

I like the analogy to cats...no one ever WANTS to have to ‘maim’ another, but one has to do what one has to do.

Lots of very detailed information in the article.

The one weakness is teaching the Cooper rules.

The Cooper Rules have been shown to be unsafe for most shooters.

Thanks for the post!

Just read a few pages ,IE: carrying to the dr’s office..

Great information so far! I’m definitely passing this along.

I've been really happy with my Glock. Haven't got my permit yet, but I planned on
getting one of those vests with a special pocket to carry it.

[bmwcyle]

This is a great choice for women.

The Glock G36 is a wonderful carry gun. Among the lightest available in .45 ACP stopping power. Perfect bra gun. I carry it in a shoulder bag with a back concealment pocket.

[Daffynition]

Nice choice! My Smith is a 649 ... just a step up in size from yours. In my hand, I like the heavier weight and can control it a bit better, especially for "rapid firing."

In my hand, I like the heavier weight and can control it a bit better, especially for "rapid firing."

When I first shot it, I was using 158 gr bullets.

Too much recoil.

I now shoot 110 gr Corban DPX +P

Recoil is very controllable.

Mine is the 27. I dont think it would work as a bra gun, but I don’t foresee any trouble concealing it. It’s thick but tiny.

[blackie]

There work pretty good for concealed carry:

[pyrless]

Here’s some good sites for concealed carry purses, pouches, and bags.
