They just never seem to die.

You get to the guys holding on to Vietnam-era thoughts on the M16 versus an AK, and it's just like, oh, my God, dude, let it fucking go.

A few months back when I was on with the Let's Go Hunt podcast, guys, one of the scenarios they asked me was bear hunting.

What pistol would you take of what you have?

or no, it was just a matter of what would I take?

And I was like, I'd probably, you know, I'm not a big revolver guy.

So I'd probably just go get a 10 millimeter and carry 10 mil pistol.

I was like, depending on what I'm doing, I was like, that would change if it's a 1911 or just getting a, like a Glock and 10 mil.

And the one dude, he knew I had a HK USP and 45.

And he was like, dude, no, no, no, no, no.

Change your recoil spring out.

And you can basically run the 45, uh,

I don't know if it's super or plus P plus with the difference of that bullshit.

I don't know.

Cause he was basically saying you're not getting the same energy as like a 10 millimeter, but you're pushing 45 to another level where you're getting pretty damn close to 10 mil specs in a frame that can handle it.

Long as you change the recoil spring out.

And I was like, I would happily do that.

Cause I liked the gun.

And that's... But, okay, now, just to play off that scenario in general, though, we're not talking long term.

We're talking on doing whatever you're doing in the scenario where they're putting me out and carrying something in bare defense.
