Default It's Fretwell's Fault

Some time ago, B'rer Fretwell convinced me that my choice of a .357 MAG
revolver was the *wrong* firearm for the night table, because if I ever
had to use it, even if I hit the intruder, everyone else would be
rendered deaf, the rounds are so loud. I thought about this for a while,
and tested Fretwell's theory at the indoor and outdoor ranges I
frequent. Without muffs.

As much as I hate to admit it, Fretwell was right this one time.

So, I sold the revolver to a buddy for a good price and he also bought
my Henry Big Boy .357 MAG rifle I just wasn't using. I used some of the
proceeds to pick up a 9mm Walther PPQ M2 TAC, shown in the accompanying
photo I swiped from a Walther site. With a suppressor fitted, it's not
much louder than a .22LR that's been "suppressor-ized," and therefore
usable inside without fear of rendering anyone deaf. It's the same
suppressor I used on my 9mm CZ Scorpion Carbine.

I'm going to fit a small "tactical" light to the rails on the underside
of the lower.

New pistol has a pretty nice trigger and appears to be accurate. I got
the "Maryland" version, with three 10-round mags. Mine has the Vortex
Venom red dot attached, looks pretty much like the red dot sight in
Walther's photo.

You go to an indoor range that will allow you to shoot without muffs?

Right.

Don't know if you've noticed, but every now and then Harry tries to bull**** the troops. He's
usually caught, as in this case.
