The .50 sniper rifle is the gun you don't show anybody.

Someone is quoting from a T-Shirt that Pop Guns was selling several years ago, except the shirt says "Colts and Kimbers".

I don't think anyone can dispute this. The best personal defense weapon there is in the world is the one in your hand when you are under attack. If you believe that, you will survive. If you doubt the weapon in your hand, you may just fail.

I have a Colt Defender and I have shown it to my friends. I also have a XD45C and I have shown it to my friends also. I don't own a Glock so I don't have enemies to show one.

 

[esrice]

Yeah I've still got one of those shirts from Pops.

Since I carry a Glock, I guess I have to show it to my friends AND my enemies. Oh well. . .

The best personal defense weapon is the weapon that you, personally, like.

 

[techres]

I guess I will go with whatever the best weapon is that I have at hand. That might be a J-Frame, Glock, AK, or bloodied brick. I do agree that the brick need not be a brand name, it just can't crumble under the repeated blows.

Seriously, what I carry is determined solely by how discreet I need to be and how much I can carry under that limitation. I would carry my 23 all day long, but work requires something more discreet when dealing with customers.

 

[esrice]

Man I bet your customers would freak out if you accidentally brandished a bloody brick!

 

[Chefcook]

The best personal defense weapon sits between your ears...

I prefer Mark 19's for personal defense weapons.

I do know that 2 of the scariest sounds I have ever heard where the sound of an old pump shotgun being brought into battery, and the sound of the slide dropping on an old wore out GI.45. Got my attention like no other sounds.
