Now my wife wants a LMT setup. Have I taught her too well?

Keep it in her trunk, home defense or in the vehicle cabin when travelling out-of-town. She shoots better with a carbine than her .45 and she believes it would have a greater intimidation factor than a psitol.
Considering a short one (10.5") for me since the place where I teach CHL courses is listed on LMT's website.
At our late age, we can finally afford such things.

I carry a CZ75 9mm off duty, have a Mod. 94 .30-.30 Win, a 12/76 pumpgun, a Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55, a .357Mag S&W Highwaypatrol Revolver and a good old 1911 in .45ACP. No pics of that stuff, since it´s nothing special.

Just received my package from La Rue, very fast service. I ordered a drum magazine for shorty. They also enclude a very nice Hat and the armadillo.

Mark LaRue runs his company like I wish everyone did.
His products are outstanding and his service first rate. The only negative is that he can't make it fast enough to keep up.
+10 for LaRue.

Thanks Mike, I lost track of Smith in the late 70s'. I use to own a bunch it was my favorite wheel gun. I had a M 28 in 357, (I believe it was a 28 called the highway patrolman..but memory may be off). I had a M 29 in 44 Mag. I think at that time the 44 Mag was only in the M29. I liked the "N" frames. Stainless I don't believe was available back then. I bought a M 39,Smith's first auto, I never liked the trigger on it. I have noticed that for concealed carry small wheel guns are comming back.

Affirmative, the M28 is called the Highway Patrolman. My M27-2 came from a retired Texas DPS Trooper in San Antonio.
I really do like the N-frames too, perferably in .357Mag (ammo is more affordable over here).
I never liked the S&W Autos. I´d go for a Colt. Glocks are really popular over here for concealed carry. They are made in Austria, which is only 60 miles away from here. We carry mainly Heckler & Koch as duty guns (the State of Bavaria still has the P7-PSP, or M8, while others have switched to the P2000 already).

HOLLiS,
Nice AR 180/18. What make is it? Howa, Costa Mesa, or Sterling?
I have to guess on the bolt gun. It looks like it possibly belongs to the Japanese Arisaka family. Maybe a modified type 30?
I've never been much on bolt guns, especially pre-Vietnam.

The AR 180 is a oldie, made in Costa Mesa, it has 7 mags and folding stock. Less than 400 rds fired.
The bolt gun is European military Target model. 1920 model.
