My cousin Manuel had one in the Plymouth Duster he had in high school.

Gotta admit, I'm kinda scared of mine..
Same here, she carries cocked and locked.
She's partial to Sigs also, nice pistols they make.

If the man bun is a sign of the new generation I think we are all doomed.

Well, we probably are anyway.

That line reminds me of a discussion I had with a couple of guys a few days ago. During our conversation the question came up....Do you keep one chambered at all times? Hell, yes. I was stunned one of them said he didn't, he felt he could chamber one in time. WRONG.

I do too, still makes me a little nervous though, even after all these years.
But I figure the time to chamber one probably matches the time to get stabbed/clubbed/etc.
