Bows!

I have one my father carried as a corpsman during WWII; I also have an Arasaka carbine he brought back as a war trophy. It has the Chrysanthemum Flower Seal intact so it probably wasn't a surrender trophy but taken during or shortly after combat.

Mine has the dust cover.

PS When shooting you move as little as possible from your firing position....bolt actions are problematic in that respect.

what wrong with the glock? Also lets say we're disregarding options, what would you guys recommend?

 

[ppgfreak]

There's nothing wrong with the Glock. I'm a XD and SIG person my self, but Glock has a good rep for a resone.

A lot of guys do not like 9mm because it is considered a small round so they don't feel "tough or manly". But fact is, a kill shot to center mass of the chest or head, is a kill shot, period. I own a 9mm and I love it. I do prefure my 45 or my 10mm. The rounds do a lot more damage.

glock would be easiest to use. no safety, point and shoot. 1911 would take a little more practice to be good with.

the difference in the rounds with premium ammo is negligible, imo

guns are like cars. do you want something you can tinker with and customize and tune up (1911)? or do you want something reliable out of the box that goes bang everytime you pull the trigger no matter what (glock)?
