What does your carry gun say about you?

 Seen at Gun Nuts Media

There are lots of choices out there for carry guns, and because each gun is a personal choice your carry gun is a statement, whether or not you feel it is.  It says something about you.

1911

What you think it says: “I am suave, sophisticated pistolero that will only carry the finest in defensive handguns.”

What it actually says: “I really enjoy buying spare parts and endlessly testing magazines to make sure they work with my archaic firearm.”

Glock

What you think it says: “I am a serious shooter, dedicated to my sport and self defense and so I carry the most popular firearm in law enforcement.”

What it actually says: “I didn’t want to do any actual research before buying a gun, so I just bought this hunk of plastic.”

Smith & Wesson M&P

What you think it says: “I am a smart shooter!  While I value the durability and lightweight of the polymer pistols, you should be able to customize your firearm for your hand size, which is why I carry an M&P.”

What it actually says: “The store was out of Glocks and the guy said this was like a Glock only better.”

Sig

What you think it says: “I am an elite shooter.  This is the weapon of choice of Navy SEALs, and that means it’s awesome, so I’M AWESOME.”

What it actually says:  “Long trigger pulls are okay with me!  First shot accuracy isn’t important anyway, it’s all about volume of fire!”

HK

What you think it says:  “Carrying this pistol means I’m serious about pistol-craft!  I am a civilian WARRIOR.”

What it actually says:  “I suck, and my gun hates me.”

Revolvers

What you think it says:  “This is a more elegant weapon from a more civilized age; I am a connoisseur of firearms akin to the Jedi Knights and their lightsabers.”

What it actually says:  “I have trouble counting past six, and having a lot of ammo in a gunfight isn’t that important to me.”

A Taurus

What you think it says:  “While budget conscious, I am able to spot a deal on a quality firearm and take advantage of it.”

What it actually says:  “Herp-derp.”

A Ruger LCP /Keltec P3AT

What you think it says:  “I don't need a big gun because my marksmanship is outstanding.  Bullet placement rules!”

What it actually says:  “Size does matter!  You have issues with your manhood and you don't even realize it.”

I am schizophrenic, I carry different things.

Is there any question?

I must confess though, I know not what they speak of in spare parts and mag testing.  

[GrayWolf]

Since my gun isn't listed (Springfield XD 9mm), I guess I can get away with saying that I'm one bad ass mofo!

[Jeff]

The XD is just a wannabe Glock.   

What it actually says: “I didn’t want to do any actual research before buying a gun, so I just bought this cheaper hunk of plastic.”

I'm with you, damn the naysayers, I've never had a problem with any mags and I think the availability of custom parts is a bonus rather than a detriment. I reiterate, "I am suave, sophisticated pistolero that will only carry the finest in defensive handguns."

Somebody forgot that revolvers come in more than 6-shot varieties AND in calibers that auto-loaders dare not touch (45-70 anyone?).

Springfield XD

What you think it says: I found a way to have a Glock with the best features of the 1911 for a better price.

What it actually says: I'm one Baddass, suave, sophisticated pistolero that will only carry the finest in plastic handguns."

[Jeff]

Suave means lame, right?
