I get on these gun kicks every once in awhile, thinking how cool it'd be to have this gun or that gun. But I'm a pragmatist in the truest sense and find myself slapping myself back into reality shortly afterwards.
For example, I got to thinking how cool it would be to get a .45acp carbine.
As my only pistol is a G21 I thought it'd be cool to have a little .45acp carbine as a stand by or vice versa.
And my search was on, AR carbines, H&K USC, Beretta Storm, Marlin Camp 45, etc, etc. I really liked the Camp 45 and started looking for them, not many available on the used market anymore.
As I considered it I realized why? I already have an awesome much more capable carbine, my SLR-95. And whammo, my pistol caliber carbine search comes to a screeching halt.
Whenever I think about doing a pig hunt, I begin thinking about what would be a good pig gun, something short and compact, yet powerful enough to make an easy 150 yard shot, semi-auto would be nice. Whammo! I've got the perfect pig gun, my SLR-95.
I see the little M1 Carbines every now and then and think how neat they are and how much I'd like to get one of those, then I consider that I already have a handy little carbine with alot more power, my SLR-95.
You know, it's not the most accurate carbine I own, it doesn't have the range of other rifles, but it is accurate enough, totally reliable, semi-auto and carries 30 round magazines. I've killed deer with it and they're DRT. What else do I need? As far as I can tell, there isn't much that little carbine can't do within reason, and do it pretty darn well.
