Firearms

The modest Brainclaw armory…

My everyday carry gun: The Glock 29 is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Glock Inc., introduced in 1997. It is a large frame sub compact Glock somewhat bigger than the Glock 26 and fires 10mm Auto ammunition. It has a 10 round magazine capacity. The Glock 29 has a double recoil spring which makes the powerful 10mm load manageable even in such a small pistol. I keep mine stoked with Federal Hydroshok hollowpint rounds when carrying out int the world, but at the bedside it gets fed a clip of frangible Glaser Safety Slugs.

 This is my summertime/deep concealment gun, the ultra-reliable Glock 26. I’m using the Pierce magazine extenders on my magazines, more for a place to rest my pinkie finger than to have more rounds in my mags. I usually carry two additional ten round magazines. I feed it Federal Hydroshok rounds which feed and fire flawlessly. My new favorite!.

The home defense cannon: The Remington 870 Tactical is n extremely reliable 12 gauge shotgun. It can carry 9 12 gauge shells in its extended magazine. It can be fitted with a variety of lights and lasers. Mine has an olive drab and black paint job, a pistol grip and magazine extender, soon to have a laser/xenon light module on the end. It is currently fed a pretty exclusive diet of Hornady TAP 12 gauge 00 buckshot rounds, with a few slugs kept nearby just in case of sudden zombie incursions.

Tara’s personal defense weapon: Tara’s firearm of choice is the lovely Springfield Armory XD combat 9mm auto pistol. It is a tough, polymer-framed pistol with a very relible and safe mechanism, rails for mounting a laser or light package, and a very easy-to-fieldstrip construction, which makes cleaning a breeze. It is extremely accurate and ergonomically designed. I regularly witness Tara dropping 15 rounds into center mass at 20 feet with little difficulty. She also feed hers a steady diet of Federal Hydroshok rounds.
