5 yds, was quite feasible to average, after a bit of practice, with M36 Smith .38 and an upside down ankle rig that I made for it. Had to have a "garter" that suspended it from above the calf, Used a thumbsnap AND a tension welt to secure it. However, VIOLENT activity would still let the gun hit the deck. I once launched a really strenuous side thrust kick at a really vicious dog's head, right downtown in Litchfield, ILL, and the damned .38 went bouncing down the sidewalk. Dog took off, but I had to retrieve the gun and slink back to the gunshop I was working in. Gave up on the ankle rig idea, on the spot. A "right side up" ankle rig is so slow, if you have time to access it, you could have just tackled the guy and twisted his head around.(ie, 2.5 seconds or more)

In a lifetime of not RUNNING from challenges, I've had to deal with dozens of such, dogs,men, etc. I always managed, andwill continue to do so.

 

[andy]

yeah, where you gonna FIND a dozen such? that's what it'd TAKE.

 

[andy]

gee,my daddy GAVE me 1000'S of $ worth of guns,

that makes me SO skilled, capable, and special.

 

[andy]

yeah,I'm such an EASY mark, that's why NONE of you tough guys have DARED meet me, in 4 years of my telling you where and when to find me. U know GD'd well you'd get your asses STOMPED.

 

[andy]

i never said you were rich. I said if you'd had to buy the guns yourself, learn the stuff on your own, you'd have a Jennings .22 and a Nagant, or a single shot shotgun. It's true, too, and we all know it.
