So, things are getting weird, to be put it mildly. This guy is working on, making plans, etc., to take care of business, for the family, close and extended. Most of the work is not in the field of firearms (e.g., land, finance, business, et al.), but there are some, like this one.
A reoccurring thought I've had is to acquire a quantity of handguns to arm part of a family, legally and effectively. As I'm (or rather one of my legal entities) is dealer licensed, I can acquire whatever needed with no problem, for whomever should require a piece.
The parameters would be:
A reoccurring thought I've had is to acquire a quantity of handguns to arm part of a family, legally and effectively. As I'm (or rather one of my legal entities) is dealer licensed, I can acquire whatever needed with no problem, for whomever should require a piece.
The parameters would be:
- Totally reliable under most conditions.
- In a common caliber (e.g., .380 ACP/9☓17㎜ Corto, 9☓19㎜ Luger, .40 S&W, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 ACP, et al.)
- Usable by people of various skill levels; novice to experienced. Totally newbies, those who dabble, gun nuts, hunters, former LEOs, and combat veterans. And all points in between.
- Both men and women, ranging in age from barely the age of majority to senior citizens.
- Reasonable price-wise as these are to be bought quantity.
- Police trade-in Glocks. Man alive, there some deals on these, not the least which via AIM Surplus. Say what you will about the Austrian plastic-fantastics, they work, and work damn well.
- Police trade-in revolvers (mainly S&Ws, but some Rugers). In the same vein, I see, albeit less so now, plenty of serviceable .38 Specials on the used market. Load up, point, and click simple.
- Steel, police trade-in, automatics. I've been seeing Beretta 92s, of various flavors, on the used market. Heavier than the combat Tupperware, but serviceable, solid pieces.
- Inexpensive snubbies. As with the aforementioned, inexperience, easy to pack and shoot. Armscor and Taurus are a couple examples.
- A little farther afield, the MasterPiece Arms Mac-10s. Still relatively affordable and one can really lay down a carpet of lead with 30+ rounds on tap.
