If i could roll around in the p-car with a handcannon under the seat....

[tabs]

is there anyone out there who can help tell me what this is...My dear departed Grandpa left me this gun...I don't know what it is and maybe what it is worth? I don't really know much about guns....Sorry I just couldn't get a good picture of the writing on the gun but the serial number is C174XXX...and it says National Match Colt........

[jose_marti]

the weapon is a fabrique nationale 90

A good autox would have targe top or cab owners or even sunroof coupe owners have to do a 200yd dash over hazardous qbsticles firing at certain body shaped like objects get to the car with a codriver who hangs out the top shooting out targets while you try to drive all at the same time

it would be fun

Why do I suspect Tabs is in wind-up mode?

At an uneducated guess it's a Colt National Match. Ancestor to the Colt Gold Cup. It's not worth much. I'll give you $25 but you pay post and packing

[}{arlequin]

now I'm curious... so what is it???

[tabs]

Grandpa's gun is worth that much, anybody offer $26. A Colt National Match U say and whats so special about that......hmmm when did they start making them and how old would U say my gun is?

I don't think that will do you any good. My wife has a permit from AL and it's worthless except in AL. She carries anyway.

I know the thread is half in fun ( ) but honestly I am far less worried about... "situations" ...when I'm in my car then when I'm NOT in my car.

In fact, based on my experiences thus far, after working in the same locale for 14 years, the riskiest place where I spend a considerable amount of time is my friggen office in the People's Republic of Santa Fondica. We have had shootings, attempted rapes/assaults, burglaries, car break-ins, and so forth, many in broad daylight. This is an area where jet-setters (including Dubya) fly in and out and average home prices are probably $600K on up (and those are 2BR/1BA ****boxes). For chrissakes somebody once stole the crappy H5 headlights out of my co-worker's 89 Carrera right in his parking spot outside our door!

And last weekend a company in the building was relieved of ALL their brand-new computer equipment by the midnight requisition crew.

I am seriously thinking about an under-desk holster. That's mainly because a tactical 12ga in a rack on my wall probably would not go over well with the landlord. We already have an alarm system, complex (multi-door/multi-key) locks, etc. so I am unclear what else we can do w/o moving out of the area. Which I plan to do ASAP if at all feasible.

I don't like unattended guns in open sight, so I use the ladies option of keeping it in my handbag. Most of the time I use a purpose made type that is a small shoulderbag with a holster compartment. Reaching in from outside your hand goes straight to the grip, you can keep your hand on the gun without anyone being the wiser and if necessary as it's open both ends I suppose you could shoot with Roscoe still in the bag. Very discreet.

...a picture is worth a thousand words
This explains better what I was trying to describe.

This one is from Ray's holsters.

I actually prefer saddleleather to soft. And I would dearly love one by Prada. They don't offer one and at their prices I won't ruin the real thing by having it cut up for concealed carrry

Handbags!

I have a Beretta 92FS 9mm, but I don't carry it in the car. My wife bought it for me for Christmas because it's the same model I carried while in Desert Strom and the pistol really impressed me. I like 9mm because they are cheap to shoot and I like to go to the range..

Shoes are also very important

[Isabo]

At the moment I'm using a Beretta model 70 in 32 acp for carry (no comments mouse guns and marauding manhunting kittens thankyou). I have problems with the 92 as my small hands don't fit well with a trigger guard designed for US marines wearing gloves. Everyone seems to think it's a great piece though. Personally I just don't like the modern plastic stuff like Glocks. I keep thinking toy
