Actually, I have a Ruger Vaquero (Old Model) Stainless, 4 5/8 bbl, birdshead grip in the master bathroom linen closet. It's loaded with 300 gr. WFN bullets over XX.X gr. H110.

Ideal? No. Viable defensive weapon, until I can get to the shotgun or something better?

This is my plan. In the morning, I get all my pocket and belt attachments and my new clothes and head to the shower. That includes my Glock. Pretty much any other time, I already have the Glock on me and disrobe / remove it to shower.

It gets put on the top of the throne and there you go.

If it ever gets to the point I need it closer / more ready then that, I will have the wife sit watch. Then we will rotate.

Taurus 24/7 in .45 and a spare magazine behind the 1st aid kit in one of the bathroom counter drawers. I clean it about once a month, and haven't seen any rust issues. And before the Taurus hate gets rolling, I bought it used from a friend, and I know that this one is reliable with the Gold Dot flying ashtrays it's loaded with. :lol:

Also, a Dan Wesson Model 14 in the kitchen cabinet with the pots & pans. And the snubnosed S&W Model 15 in a cigar box in the living room. And... well, you get the idea... :mrgreen:

That FAL looks suspiciously like a CETME. Or, do I need to go read the ARFCOM thread to get it?

I think you're right - I could have sworn it was an FN FAL from memory, but after looking at the picture, I think it is a CETME.

Been there, witnessed the strangeness firsthand. Could not get shut of the place quickly enough.

This isn't that complicated. Really. (and I dare I utter the term "WD-40?)
