Christians and Guns?

Being 74 and hands not as steady as they used to be, I would have to say that my Taurus 380, 40mm, and 9mm shoot about as accurate as your sigs and Glocks....    what I do know is that they have been shot hundreds upon hundreds and with one exception of a single box of amo without powder they all three have gone bang every time I pull the trigger.

Don't intend to get into a battle with anyone long range, actually more of a point and shoot distances for protection.   I actually practice shooting from the hip at ten to 15 feet most of the time.

If I need to shoot someone across the street I'll use the AR   It's good for about as far as I can see anyway.

Inside the house it's the Mossberg 12g.

It's hard to conceal a Mossberg 12 gauge under my tee shirt. 

My Taurus PT92AF 9 mm is 100% reliable, but it's not as accurate as other guns I have including Glocks.

I have not handled a Sig P365.  I have quite a few Sigs in my collection and like them all very much.  But Glocks have been my favorite from the start of my collecting days.  Up to now, my EDC gun has been a Glock 43, a Glock 26 or a Glock 23.  That is, until I started shooting CZs.  I thought I was shooting my best with Colt and Sig 1911s until I started shooting CZs like the CZ 75B and CZ 75B Compact.  I love the low bore axis of the CZs.  I have some CZs with safeties and some with decockers, some metal and some polymer.  I'm finding the smaller Glocks like the 42 and 43 are harder for me to retract the slide to load the first round from a full magazine.  I have psoriatic arthritis and find the bigger Glocks are easier to handle. 

I also have a 43 and the simplicity and reliability of Glock design is impressive. My 365 has the 1911 style thumb safety, which I like....the familiarity is comforting. Check out the capacity and size/weight compared to the 43.

at ten feet, it's plenty good enough.

True, but it doesn't make sense for concealed carry for a person my size.

The Holy Scripture is clear:

• Gal 5:13  -> "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another."
• Eph 4:27 -> "Neither give place to the devil.".
• 1Th 5:22  -> "Abstain from all appearance of evil.".

As only Jesus is good (Mat 19:17; Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19) and our heart is bad and deceitful (Jer 17:9), the best thing to do is don't own a gun.  When we will get with hot head, we can act in a way that can compromise all our future (and also, the future of someone that we love).

Most of the time I carry a G2c 9mm, or for pocket carry a .380 pt738, both Taurs.    I've got a .40 cal tarus, but I think the 9mm is a better round for close up "leave us alone" protection.   All three are no frills no outside hammer annd simple to use.  They always go bang when I pull the trigger with reliable ammo; and never jam when they are clean.   Not good for target competition though for the barrels are too short for that.   I do a lot of practice with laser bulllets and most of my practice is grab and shoot from the hip at close range.    If I want to shoot something further away than ten to 15 feet, I'll go get my AR.  If at home I'll grab the mosburg 12 gage.   It won't shoot through walls and hurt my neighbors 

BTW just for the record, if someone came up to me and just told me he/she had a gun and wanted my money, I'd most likely just give it to them because I never ever carry enough cash for either one of us to die over.  Most carry laws require a person to fear for safety before legally using a weapon on someone, and demanding money just isn't that scary to me.  Maybe because I've been mugged a couple of times when I wasn't carrying.   In Oklahoma it is illegal to brandish a gun on someone, so if you to lay hands on it you better use it, and if you use it it better be in fear of your life or limb, or you may well be the one going to jail.

I carry a 43x on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I am in a state that is anti-gun and due to state law, I cannot carry more than 10 in the mag. So, while I'd love to branch out to higher capacity pistols, this 43x is my go to.

Have you tried installing a slide/rack assist to any of your Glocks?

Yes.  But it's the smaller Glocks I have trouble with when I go to full loads and extended magazines.  Otherwise, I can rack a larger Glock slide (double stack) using my index finger and middle finger gripping at the knuckles.  Psoriatic arthritis is the gift that keeps on giving.

"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power." -Alexander Hamilton

 

Are you allowed to carry extra 10 shot clips on your person?

It's like they say, criminals don't obey gun control laws, when gun control laws aren't about the guns. They're all about control over those who obey laws.

 

I think Christians are entitled to arm themselves. Jesus told his disciples to buy a sword. In those times the foremost formidable weapon then known.

In today's parlance he would have said, even if you have to sell something to afford it, buy a AK-47. ?

God is not a pacifist.

Lord knows our SCOTUS illegally redefines unalienable right as often as afforded the opportunity. Meanwhile they have armed secret service security for life.
