In a moment of weakness I ordered a Glock 23 that should be in tomorrow. This is the first bottom feeder that I have owned in the last 10 or 12 years since I traded my last Glock off for a Ruger Blackhawk. Well, at least I didn't trade of any revolvers to get it. It should be a fun plinker anyway.

Its the secret shame of wheelie lovers; we all have a bottom feeder in the closet.

Got 2 IMI Baby Eagles, 9mm and 40 S&W, plus a 380 Bersa.

I knew you'd be disappointed Lloyd and that's the part that hurts me the most.

How about if I go and buy another single action or a lever gun to make up for it?

I did need something to go with the black rifles though.

I carry my Ruger P345 to protect my single actions from harm!!

my "bottom feeder" came to me kind of funny,i was working with a plumber one day feeding him fittings on a repair job and he said "ya know,now that i'm married and have kids i sure wish somebody would give me 300 bucks for a Colt Commander i need to get out of the house"....told him if he'd bring it to my house tonight i would "help" him out....well,he showed up,showed me the gun and i was slightly discouraged cuz i could tell it wasn't a Commander first glance...looked it over,threw the money at him as casual as possible. When it was all done i paid 300 bucks for a Mk 4 Government model 70 Series that he bought new,fired 300 rounds of target loads thru it,then put it away till i came along....oh yeah,he had this pistol ramped and throated,3lb trigger job, and match grade barrel bushing fitted inside and out,all done by a very good gunsmith.....i basically bought a gold cup with 300 rds thru it for 300 bucks,still got it and will always have it

I think my next gun will be a 1911.

leather5to1 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2009, 02:53:42 PM »

Mine is a model 20. It gets self concious when it goes to the range with my super blackhawk and Freedom arms 454. So I guess I'm saying don't feel bad. Haha- bottom feeder, thats funny.

blackwolfe · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2009, 05:32:24 PM »

I too have bottom feeders. Colt 1911s, Browning HP, Walther PP, PPK families.

I also have a Kimber .45, Berretta 92, Sig P229, and a Glock 23.

They seem to go well with my numerous SA's and Da's revolvers!

I`ve had a 23 for a few years. It has been a good gun. Good size too.

casey36 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 26, 2009, 03:44:29 PM »

I have a m31 and a m33. Had a m23 also. Both .357 sigs were my duty and backup guns. Cant beat a glock if you are wantin something that loads a little faster than a Ruger n.m. Also have had a couple of 1911,s through the years.

Being older than most, I've sinned more than most, but I am working toward forgiveness. Despite my Woodsman, Supermatic Citation and .22 PPK/s, on through my P7 PSP to my Pro Carry and series 70 Gold Cup, I have yet to hear the siren's song of poly. Through all diversions, I remain true to my single actions, numbering only four Colts and seven Rugers. My out-the-door, grab-first pieces remain my tired old 4.6" stainless Single Six from 1974 and my .44 Special Blackhawk custom from 1976. While tarnished, I remain untainted.

blhof · « **Reply #21 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:06:46 PM »

While wheel guns are my favorite and I have more than my wife likes, I do have a Beretta 92 and 96 with some of the 40 round mags, just because I can. Once in a while I'll load up the 40's and go to the range and make big holes in the targets and spray a whole bunch of brass, then take out the wheelies and make holes at 50, 100, and up yards that the bottom feeders just can't seem to do as well...
