For Monday Gunday if you want to use it. No credit requested or needed. I took pic after fancy holster arrived to use with my fancy new less-common 45 Colt Anaconda. 

First shiny gun I’ve ever owned. Great trigger – even double action – I’m a Ruger 45 Colt fan and this one has them beat. Holster from Southern Charm Holsters (no affiliation) – a good old boy down south making custom holsters – pretty entertaining YouTube channel you might like, too.

Karl (hence the KWG on the holster top)

    M-42 Duster. Funny how things work out. Intended as an anti-aircraft weapon, wound up being a devastating infantry support weapon. Same with the M-50 Ontos, one bad ass six-shooter. The rifles could be loaded with a combination of ammo, including Beehive rounds, which would render a jungle full of VC into so much fresh coleslaw and raw hamburger.

    I would swap the heavy M9 bayonet for an M7.

    • Speaking as Sumdood who in his tender youth got put in charge of a 106 section using the Army’s jeep-mounted single-tube version, the Ontos made a hell of a lot more sense. Six shots quick would have been a lot better than one shot slow, ya follow?

      • I’m jealous. While I was trained to fix them in Small Arms Repair School, I never got to fire one. And yeah, I follow. Fire one or six, be prepared to shoot and scoot, because EVERYBODY knows what you are and where you are.

        • used to carry the M60 back in the day, my section chief
          drum in to my head that you ALWAY shoot and scoot.
          as he said, count to 6, and you better be moving your ass ! the bipod was a handy, but never really used it
          as it got in the way too often when moving.
          the M60 was a good weapon, but it did let everyone know where you are as soon as you opened up with it.

  2. #75 – I’m rather fond of my Ruger GP 100, a hot-load .357 FMJ can do as much or more damage than a .45.

    But really, who cares? Get the one you love, love the one you have…

  3. back in 1978, I was on the team testing out the Carl G. it is a great weapon system. no. really, they had like a dozen different rounds you could fire thru it’
    and you could re cock it. good iron sights to back up the optic .
    just a handy as hell item. the rounds came in a 2 pack carrier that you could tie to your ruck with no problem. on “show day” there where 3 army generals and 2 Marine ones in the stands. the army guys didn’t care a bit. the Marine generals,
    they got down and fired it and asked a shit ton of questions about HOW we felt about it. and they took NOTES even. NEVER SAW THAT BEFORE.
    but, the army went with the Dragon instead. some back room deal we thought.
    here what it was , the “dragon” round costs 2-3 times what a Carl G round did.
    and it even had a handy training round thing that fired a 7.62.
    but, in the end, the Carl G was hands down wat better than anything we had.
    it was a “grunt” proof weapon if there ever was one.
    funny thing, you really don’t hear or see anything about the “dragon system” anymore now.
