How Tactical Are You?

Minus 26,,but I could be off 'cuz I was adding it up in my head.
The batterys went dead in the grip panel calculator on my Bergmann

At -22 I quess I'm dead meat. How many points do I get for my stevens mod 520 sawed down to 18 inchs?

 

[BOB THE PALINDROME]

-83??? But by golly, I'll put my matchlock up against anyone, at 10 feet, on a dry day, with no wind...........



Actually, I am a revolver fan.

Apparently I'm a lot more "tacti-cool" than a lot of you.

I scored -12.

Unless you don't consider that a 640-1 is a re-design from the 640. Then I guess it could be -14. I am wearing camo shorts with cool tactical pockets on the legs, though.

-14 on the tactical scale. But my Hi Power will max the COOL scale.

[chillypepper]

scored a -25. would my fiberoptic front sight would put me back into the tacticool catigory?

M&P 9 mm - +6 - unless the removable backstrap counts as a removable grip

640-3 - what I generally carry - -14, since it wears Pachmeyrs

Registered Magnum - -18 with those old walnut thingies on it - it's blued, so it loses out to

Model 29-3 - -19 because it's nickel

I have put the Registered Magnum in my pocket, just to see if it fit - it's got a 4 inch barrel.

I'd have to use a shoulder holster or something for the Model 29, its barrel is 8 3/8s.

The 29 is old school tactical, from when Clint Eastwood was a bit younger.

Sir, I'm so tactical that I look ordinary.

So, I'm really "conflicted" now. I was thinking if a got one of those popular (Bruce Willis in Last Man Standing) Double Shoulder Rigs for 1911's and two ankle rigs for a J-Frames, I'd score something like this:
1911 #1 -10 points
1911 #2 -10 points
2 J-Frame - 8 points
Total -28 points

That's a lot a iron; add on a few extra mags and speed loaders and you're pretty well set; ok, grab a Surefire. And as the Boy Scouts say, "Be Prepared" Real prepared in this case. Well, tough Beaners; no offense to our Southern friends, but I'll take a -28 anytime over a fat recycled plastic palm-filler, remeniscent of those "Buck Rogers Blasters" I watched on the Black & White in the 50's. So, How do I really feel? +100

This nearly invalidates the scoring all by itself. Using a rack holster for a serious carry gun isn't tactical, IMO. Who would spend thousands of $$ on gun, ammo, sights and all that stuff and then carry it in a one-size-fitss all holster?

Now SmithNut, it says it FITS in them, not that you actually would condescend to USE one these holsters.

If we're going to take this seriously, we have to parse each word with great care!

Tactical what's tactical? What's an Operator? Match Grade what is this? High speed low drag no not even forty plus years ago but I do understand the pucker factor.
