What would you have carried in the year 1911?

[Fireaxes]

I was fooling around taking pics of guns and knives. I thought I'd take a picture of what somebody may have carried back in the day.
My top pick would be a 1911 .45, but I don't have one old enough.

Lets see your pre 1940's carry guns. Accessories are a bonus.

Colt 1903 .32 and FN .25 with sap and straight razor.

A lever action in .44-40.

I would have carried a 1911 or BROOMHANDLE MAUSER, for a rifle a 1903 SPRINGFIELD 30-06

Pre-1934 NFA, so probably an 8" double barrel 12ga or something similar.

I sometimes carry a S&W Military&Police Hand Ejector
now, so I might have back then.( But, not with +Ps, ha!)

Thanks

An attitude

 

[Sylvain]

Can I say that I would carry one of the VERY early version of a Glock?
Come on if I cant carry a Glock then what reliable weapon can I have?
A freaking stick?

Ok fine I would have to go with a revolver then.
Something who goes bang everytime I need it.

A midget with a club.

Colt model 1878 in .45 probably would have been my choice. If I had the money I like to think I would have carried a Colt 1911.

I don't actually have either :-(

 

[Mr.JAG]

I'd probably have to bulk up a bit to carry it... but I'd sure try.

Action starts at 1:25.

maybe not in 1911, but shortly after a BAR and a Thompson.

Clever thread. You may be the only one who actually has their gun though,

British Bull Dog revolver, in .44 short. Its got a bit of an infamous history, but I love the look.

 

[UncleMike]

Winchester 1892 in .44/40
It was the Assault Rifle of it's day.

[Pyroponce]

Pre-1934 NFA, so probably an 8" double barrel 12ga or something similar.

I'll take two!

 

[cowboywitek]

I'd stick with a good 'ol six gun.

 

[steve666]

Model 1909 Colt Army Revolver - .45 LC.

Fireaxes, I second the razor and sap (I have a knife now, but regularly carry a sap).

Loadout would have been:
Smith Triple-lock hand ejector .44 Special (actually have my grandfathers!!, long term project... )
razor
sap
18 rounds of loose LRN in pocket... (no real speedloaders back then, guess I could tape the rounds into a semblance of a speedloader)
