No argument there, I have the judge and the accuracy out of the three inch barrel is less than stellar. For my purposes, I run either 410 buckshot, or 45lc. I don’t see a reason to run bird shot or slugs, but I have them just in case. For a close range vampire encounter, I don’t think it would be the worst, a derringer probably gets that title. I’ve used a few of them and they all perform about as poorly as expected, that and they’re just unpleasant to shoot, too much pain in the hands for them. I’m an ideal world for a handgun, I’m leaning towards maybe a 5-7 with silver bullets. High capacity and 5.7 rounds are designed for penetration

I like the idea, and it is possible. There’s a couple of options for firing a wooden projectile. Guns exist that use .22LR blanks to fire an arrow from a traditional rifle. Shotgun shells seem like the next best option, however I don’t know how well they would do on penetration. Probably similar results to less-than-lethal rounds like rubber pellets or pepper balls. You could fashion a pointed slug, but in that case, you could do that for most any bullet.

I think theres a better argument to be made for silver bullets. They’re already metal, not sure if silver is harder or softer than lead though. You could also do a salt shot through a shotgun. Salt is supposedly effective against undead, and there’s that fun tidbit about vampires being hella OCD and they’d have to count all of the salt before they can do anything else.

I think the best would be a shotgun that shoots 00 buckshot made of silver, but specifically something like the smith&Wesson governor, or the Taurus judge. They’re handguns, specifically revolvers, that are capable of shooting both 45 long colt, and 410 shotgun shells without any modification needed for the gun. Fuck it, add some garlic salt to your shells as well. Garlic burns them, and it would potentially smell good too.

This has been a very fun little thought exercise. If you come up with any other sci-fi/paranormal gun related questions, I’m more than happy to participate

Totally fair and valid. At the end of the day, it’s your call and I think personal comfort and safety should be the biggest factors to work within

I know there’s a video floating around of Massad Ayoob, a known fud, bemoaning iwb holsters. I personally use OWB because I’m a husky lad and don’t feel like buying bigger pants. I think the holster you shared is neat, just not for me

I think the argument being made is that IWB holsters are inherently more dangerous than OWB holsters. I understand your point, nothing should happen, however as we’ve seen with the sig p320 and a couple Taurus models, guns just go off sometimes. Accidents happen and adding one more degree of separation between the gun and your body isn’t a terrible idea.

Glad that worked!

I’m not 100% certain of this, but id suspect it’s in the lower right quadrant in the pic you posted. Probably nestled between the graphics card and the ram. Might be covered by a heat shield
