You could always do something like a .357 revolver and a Rossi 1892 .357 rifle.
How about the Mec Tech carbine conversion for Glocks and 1911s?

Oh no, no, no, too firearm faux !!


It reminded me of something I had when I was nine, that had a removable pistol at its heart

I know, seriously...it should either shoot plastic discs or high intensity sonic or laser blasts.

Not that I was shilling :). Right now I'm about two days away from trading one of my bicycles (a 2004-ish Specialized Enduro) for a second generation Glock 30 and I'm not too sure about it. I think my stubby fingers might work better with the slim frame and I might even prefer a Glock 26 for the cheaper ammo. Plus if it's a Gen 2...

I smell a mid life crisis. You'll be getting a new haircut next. But it is an interesting hypothetical discussion.

I'd stick with a shotgun - that's what you call modularity.

That's what I call inefficient and boring, and a good way to get broken teeth - from chewing on shot infested venison.

Anyhow, it is good for blowing big holes through zombies...but a 1/2" hole is enough hole in my opinion + try taking a shotgun with you everywhere - man, what a hassle.

As for the haircut, well it's high and tight. ...about the only thing I could do different is keep a little more on the top for insulation during the shitty season.

Portability is always an issue in a mid life crisis.

I think it's important to check it off of one's list as soon as possible. I bought my first new sports car at 29. Hmmm, then again about 10 years later. I guess I'm not done with mine yet. At least I have enough sense to keep my shirt on in public. Particularly on leather seats.

I understand your reasoning.................but your choice needs more consideration.

I highly recommend a G19 and a folding stock AK in 7.62x39. I've relied on this combination in three Countries and I'm still around.

Drop by my board and send me a PM.

What more is there to consider? How many more guns do I need than one to kill something deader than dead?

why even keep one gun when you can work on your sprinting and blade skills?
That way when someone gives you the harshness you can run up real fast and stab them.
I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.
