I can even talk about my sub-caliber "stuff" and I am not ashamed, I'm not... really....I'm not even nervous or, or...anything...

Speaking of the Colt 380... I was inventorying (is that a word?) our gun locker at the Dept. I work for. I am preparing to do a firearms class and am looking for guns for the class. I found this really nice Mustang govt. model in the locker and seized it for my class. I saved one of our friends... the 380... from the "crusher"... I did a good deed...Once I have the court orders done and the paperwork in to b.a.t.f.e. (no caps...they are like a minor diety in my book)... I will get to take all of this cool stuff out and shoot it....I plan to acquire about 100 guns that were bound for destruction and use them for dept. training....that's cool.. it's like saving a life or a puppy or something...all of those beretta's, smiths, raven's, jennings, H&R shotguns....and a cool sxs 16ga... needed one of those... I'm sure I can use it for training...

Work the program, man. Work the program.

Hmmm.
Everybody 'fessing up to being a COLT .380 owner.
NOBODY admitting to being a GLOCK owner.
Interesting.

Prediction:
The next gun to come out of the closet will be the lowly J frame...

I own a Glock 21 with a 1913 rail and ambi mag release. The only reason I own it it becuase it's not approved for sale in California.

That's GLOCK to you funny boy! Approximately 38.46% of my handguns are GLOCKS! Then there is a couple of Colt Lawman in 2". Are they fashionable again?

BTW Inboost has ignored the bait I left. What up IB, not up for redesigning the ejector? I have some ideas...

I have been a practicing J-Frame owner and user for many years but thanks to the help and encouragement of this support group I am currently undergoing O-Frame treatments to address these socially unacceptable and possibly deviant behaviors.

I did once own a Glock 19, however, I will never admit to it under any circumstances!!!

Thanks,

I have a boxed, matched pair of boxed Colt Government .380s.

I also have a matched pair of Glock 23's, and a pair of S&W 36-1's (3" heavy barrel with target sights), and I'm putting a S&W 640 on my CCW.

I'll go farther. I have a matched pair of single action, 6 shot Colt semi-autos.

In .22 short.

From the cover of the factory manual - "Small enough to cradle in the palm of your hand, the Junior Colt offers ideal home and personal protection."

Hey, it's printed there on paper, it can't possibly be wrong.
