Best model/way to carry spoon while workingout?

[BlueSkyJaunte]

Just a bit of info, so this thread isn't entirely useless to the OP.

The Sig P238 has either an aluminum or stainless frame--depending on the model--and a stainless slide. I have one of the early ones (before they came out with every color of the rainbow) with an aluminum frame. It is a very soft shooter. It is also VERY accurate, with a decent trigger and excellent sights. I would carry mine regularly except the thumb safety is set up righty-only, so for this lefty it is doomed to an easy life as a range spoon.

+1. While sarcasm permeates this thread, don't underestimate "the message" that many have been posting...

+1. And don't underestimate the power of sarcasm delivered with humor to sharpen the point of that message.

I do NOT want to be caught with my pants down.

It wasn't more than a week after I clipped it on that at three o'clock one morning, half asleep, I sat down to do #2, looked up, saw a stranger in the dim light, grabbed the gun and shot myself in the mirror.

I always keep a gun inside the butter dish compartment in my refrigerator.

I figure that if I am ever the victim of a residential takeover robbery, I will offer the robber a cold drink and then BANG BANG BANG!

That's an excellent idea!

But my keenly honed situational awareness, with its concomitant high level of paranoia, causes me to consider that my refrigerator light may fail to come on and I won't be able to find my butter dish.

So I keep one of my numerous grab guns in my cookie jar and hope that my robbers are bonkers for Oreos.

Hoplophobes never have a message. They only have a smug air of "moral superiority".

Perhaps this is fueled by the certainty that if they ever need to come to the defense of themselves or someone else, their only option will be to catch a bullet.

That's funny. . I've owned guns since I was about ten years old..

Nah. I'm fueled by my amusement by some of the whackiness that gun nuts come up with. Hell, I know I'm not going to change any of your minds. You gun nuts are the toughest nuts to crack.

I was just holding one of the newest models of this pistol the other night at a gun store. REALLY nice, and it comes with a +1 mag /grip extension now, so you can get a better grip on the pistol.

If they could be had with an ambi safety I would seriously consider buying one.

Here is my personal EDC set up:



The whole thing combined weighs barely a pound, and I don't need to wear a belt or any pouches/holsters with it, as the knife and gun both have clips, and the flashlight and extra mag slide right into the watch pocket of any pair of jeans.

Super convenient.

Here's my setup. Has worked well in the past and has gotten me out of some pretty tight spots.

I have Amexiphobia...them things scare the hell outta me !!! Bluesky, I assure you that if a situation calls for it, I'll be prepared, but other than "credit", I'm not phobic of much...pretty sad way to live one's life if ya ask me. If one is going to toss around the honorable Col. Jeff Coopers' (RIP) coined "phobia", at least have the decency to recommend a caliber that wouldn't bring laughter from the "guru" that I read religiously some 40 years ago...

Thanks Snipe (I just learned something)! I'm sure JC would prefer my Combat Commander instead of an "underpowered pistol" though . Seriously...that's why my CC is my go to piece (though I rarely carry)...Jeff Cooper.

I just added that NEBO light to my kit. Excellent tip Sniper. Tks.

My #1 CCW is a Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail (CBOB). Sadly, not all situations permit the bulk/weight overhead to support a caliber that starts with "4". When such is the case, I carry 9x19 (typically a Kahr MK9). Admittedly "less than optimum" in Col. Cooper's view but still acceptable. All of the peashooters in the collection are assigned to BUG duty.

My personal philosophy is that one should carry whenever feasible. Carrying when you expect trouble only means you'll find trouble when you're not expecting it. If you're expecting trouble, why enter the situation at all?

Pizza Nazi!

I always strive to remain neutral in pizza parlor standoffs.

That's why I ALWAYS pack a Swiss Navy knife (yes, Navy - they are very rare).

However, I am NOT a Swiss wimp and I HAVE been in several pizza parlor standoffs wherein some pretttty perky pizza Nazis felt the terrible tingle of the tangs of my fork (I got the REALLY rare one with the folding fork and spoon).

When I eat at rough Chinese joints, I pack my Chinese Air Force knife with folding, needle sharp, Chopsticks.
