I really miss Paul Harrel, but continue to stumble across the many of his videos I’ve not yet seen…

This was a classic ‘Paul’ video.

The "hammerless" revolvers would be the best bet for underthecovers work.

Except you need to fit in. I doubt many bad guys are carrying small 5 or six shot revolvers these days. Seems high capacity "9's" remain the rage.

My “undercover” gun was a High Standard Derringer in .22 Magnum.

But nobody ever noticed it on my person to my knowledge.

Now I carry an “old man’s gun” and still nobody seems to notice it.

I carried a .38 Special derringer all through the 1970's and 80's. Sometimes in my boot. At other times in my pocket. No one ever noticed it that I am aware of.

Most people do not notice anything anymore.
I do keep a flashlight beside my bed. I change the batteries every 6 months, and the handgun gets wiped with Ballistol after cleaning and before being put back beside the bed after going to the range. A 2,000 lumen flashlight is not seriously expensive, and it is hard to see after it shines in your eyes.

One of mine is a S&W like Scotts I can hit bowling pins 4 outa 5 at 25 yards if I practice once and awhile. I find a S&W M&P Shield II 40 cal easier to see the sights but harder to be descreet when carrying.

It’s called an “old mans gun” only because the they lived long enough to be considered old .

There’s definitely some truth to that.

I know some guys who don’t carry a gun at all. They don’t feel like they need it and they are probably right.

I know guys who carry high capacity 9 mm pistols and multiple extra magazines. They think they might need all that ammo. They may in some way be right.

But I’m comfortable with my old man guns. Am I right? Who knows?

Me also Scott.
When I die they better search me before transporting the body.
