combat pistol and rifle

[Groinstrike]

First off, yes i consider proficiency with a firearm to be just as much a martial art as throwing a good jab.

For the firearms enthusiasts on KF. what is your loadout.

Right now im running a Rock River AR-15 A4 with my Sig Sauer 1911 and Glock 22 Gen 4.

As we have strict gun laws here in the UK, the only fire arms I have handled were at game bird shoots and country fairs. I have shot a Boss side by side hammered shotgun, several under and over modern shot guns and once an 18th century blunderbuss that almost put me in the next field! I shot some vermin with an AR14 once too, but that's it.

Likewise. I am very unlikely to have the chance to shoot someone in self-defense. However I have a semi-auto shotgun which I used to shoot clays with as a kid but haven't picked it up properly in about 5 years.

Gen 4 Glock 22

Colt AR 15

12 ga Benelli shotgun

Glock 22R

Ruger SP101

Remington 870

S&W M&P-15

Sold off a few others, used to have more, but may pick up a Ruger 10/22 for my boys as well.

I carried an 870 for a long time. I stay current on my qual, have it in my car, but really I haven't deployed it over the rifle at any time I can remember.

Still, when it comes to shotguns I really do like it more than any other one I've shot. There's something about a weapons system where the answer to a malfunction is rack it harder is a cool thing.

[Groinstrike]

The 870 really is the AK-47 of the shotgun world.

Also, my off duty concealed choice is usually my glock 23 or my S&W model 37

The intimidation value alone is worth it sometimes. It all depends on the situation, but we typically have a lot of rifles so I'll occasionally grab the shotgun.

How did I miss this thread?

Not too tactical, but I do my reload drills, clearing jams and pistol draws. I'm a dirty civilian and I know it.

Bushmaster AR15

Springfield 1911 MilSpec

Uberti 1866 Winchester

Cimarron Arms Thunderer

Pietta 1851 Navys (the twins)

Can you tell I was a cowboy shooter?

Wish list. S&W AR15/22. Dad picked one up and it would make a great trainer for me and something my wife and girls can shoot too.

Springfield XDs .45. The 1911 is a bit hefty for a ccw purpose.
