...which of your current guns would you least want to come face to face with?
I have an SP101 Ruger .357 that I shot some wild and wooly loads through a while back, but the gun of mine that I'd least want to be used against me by a good guy who was defending himself would have to be my Taurus PT145. I shot some Herter's aluminum cased rounds through it yesterday, and the they were intimidating. Noticeably louder and more powerful than the Federals, and a fair bit of muzzle flash. The SP101 would be more powerful with hot loads, but I've got 10 rounds in the 145, with another 10 just a mag release away. The 145 is also so concealable, it could be carried without detection. Us bad guys would never notice it. I have a few .40's that hold more rounds, but they're bigger and harder to conceal (though still concealable.)
The Truth is, I wouldn't survive either gun, but the PT 145 would be more of a sure thing, I think. Does anyone else agree with my PT145 selection?
If not, let me hear what your "nightmare gun for thugs" would be.
