Best Hand Gun to carry while Fly Fishing... Chest holster.

I use to carry a gun but have now switched to carrying a areosol can of starting fluid & a zippo. I find that the flame thrower technique is much more effective and the kill it & grill it concept leaves less evidence.

Reminds me of something we use to do when I worked at Kragen Auto Supply in high school. We use to use a can or Berryman's B-12 with the red plastic nozzle extender and light off a flame thrower to kill the spiders up in the corners of the backroom -- good thing it was concrete construction...stuff we use to do and not think much about it

Did somebody mention 1911s?



My problem is which one do I carry?

I still like my wheel gun.

i dont know much about guns but im getting a pistol grip short barrel for the bush, girlfriend insists - she is terrified of bears and cougars.I'll sling it over my shoulder on deep hikes, carry an extra barrel if im hunting. we aint allowed handguns up here. Mind you up here we have grizzly and big blacks in high populations. I cant recall a single story of bear or cougar or elk attacks in WA state while i lived there over 6 yrs. Any bears i saw were the size of dogs.


just an interesting story, last year we were excavating for a new house and i found a colt m70 1911 semi auto handgun wrapped in a sock and plastic bag. fully loaded mag with one in the chamber. Fairly rusted out must have been there for years, I turned it in and the police carried it away.

I can think of two cases recently, both from the Wenatchee area.
Cougar attack from December.

i seem to recall, a few people over the years who walked into the woods alone and were never seen again. makes ya wonder. i hunt alone, in the goat rocks, have had three encounters with cats, only saw one of them. the things that snow can tell ya, makes your childhood bad dreams come alive.
