I'd like an M1 carbine, 30 cal. Not long distance, but subsonic, low ricochet potential, easily silenced, and at any serious usage other than hunting lethal enough. The kind of long gun police should use, instead of AR15s which are too dangerous in urban environments in my opinion. I'm sure I'd get a lot of arguments about that.

That's the truth.
I've heard people say they aren't accurate, but that has't been my experience.

Oh yes. One of the quietest, most accurate short range rigs I have fired. Subsonic by design and with a great can, very accurate. I would rate it as the finest gun I have fired up to 30 feet. From 30 feet to 100 feet carbine. After that AR15. After that, I'm running.

And yes, I have a Mark IV just like that Larry. Anything without a can is loud.

Good morning all. My favorite handgun is my Kahr 45. I am headed to the Harley shop to get the tires on the Road King. Everyone ride safe.

Halito John, Jeff, Toaks, Woods, and anyone I miss. Have my dad's old 45 around here someplace. It may or may not be here, I'm not sure!! ( ) plus my 9mm and 380. Just a little something to keep around the house to protect my family if necessary. Should get out and fire them more.
My Spartans handled the game well last night. We won! Now we gotta keep this trend going. Gotta pick up grandson shortly and bring him back to mow my lawn. I wish I could schedule him a bit more, but now school is getting in the way too!! Grass is finally growing good, and fast.
So any of y'all that have plans today, be careful out there. The idiots are among us!!! Lurker out.....

OL is currently missing her 380. After the house remodel, I think it's not in there apparently
