Thread: .45 Colt Tactical

You probably know I'm not usually into "tactical" stuff, and prefer my revolvers to most any semi... but I'm ready now!

the new Ruger Cowboy Tactical Blackhawk:

lol!! Every western loving mall ninja in America is gonna want one.

Where does the line start!

Funny thing is, I have most of what's in that picture.

Needs an ammo holder. And a lanyard loop. And a magnifier for the Aimpoint.

I dont want to piss anyone off on here or hurt anyone's feelings but I think these things are dumb as hell. Those videos are pure comedy. Hell, I wanted to see something besides shooting.......maybe something to do with the item they were suppose to be promoting.

Dang it, I want to see some hardcore pistol bayonet hacking and slashing.

Sorry just my 2 cents.

It is pretty stupid.

I couldn't agree more. I wanted to see some big-tusk pig taken down with the bayonet after 8 rounds of .45 ACP did nothing to 'em..... But it does show the ridiculous extent that those seeking "tactical" gear will go. Paint it black, fake up some mall-ninja pictures, get someone to continually plug it on Internet bulletin boards and today's young wannabe soldiers will buy it up. It all started with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And big time wrasslin'.

I'm all for being prepared for WTSHTF, but as long as I can take what I need from my neighbors, I'm not going to run around playing SWAT team.


As for me, I'll stick with Monster Trucks and Stadium Motocross.

I hope you take my posts in this thread with the grain of humor they are intended.

I'm not going to lie........there is a little bit of mall ninja inside me. I think all of us (or at least most of us) if we were completely honest would have to admit to the little bit of mall ninja within. Hell, I own things I'll probably never use for the purposes I've acquired them for. I say it right now.......I LOVE TACTICAL STUFF....within reason.


However, there is a line that one can cross.

Got this off of another Gun Forum I belong too.

Someone asked me what a mall ninja was. Here is the explanation.

I am about to define and describe the ancient and mysterious traditions of the rare mall ninja. Not to be confused with "nylon ninjas", or "keyboard commandos", these elite members of society are prepared to engage a foreign or domestic enemy at a moment's notice. Many are in training but only a few make it.



Definition
m-aal nin-jAH : An inexperienced (or even sometimes experienced), over-enthusiastic weapon owner (usually firearm), who's primary modus operandi (that's mall ninja talk) includes dressing and equipping for combat in an otherwise peaceful urban environment. The mall ninja can often be found carrying more than one weapon of the same type, handcuffs (although legally unable to perform an arrest), wearing ballistic vests or tactical gear while performing mundane daily tasks such as mowing the lawn.


Characteristics
Sex: Primarily males
Age: Teens to 40's
Race/Ethnicity: Primarily caucasian
Body Type: Often overweight, sporting a gut, however the occasional athletic mall ninja can be spotted and may be harder to identify until spoken to.
Marital Status: Often Single/Virgin but more increasingly Married/Neglected
Hair: Short to Long
Extracurricular Activities: Posing for pictures to post online, weaving tales of heroism and danger, bragging, spurts of exercise, watching war movies for 'tactics', watching the tv show "Cops", buying a foregrip or laser for their DPMS AR-15 or pistol, worrying more about how deadly they look than about the car that is about to run them over.

Notes: Often are adament about a particular brand of gun or knife, camo, nylon etc., they will get into intense debates with anyone who says otherwise. "Fatal funnel", "tactical", "assault", "high-risk", and "hostiles" are all common vernacular. Mall ninjas publicly decry violence but secretly dream of getting into fights because they always win. They often walk around looking for a trigger event that could spark another bloodfest of which they will come out the sole victor while occasionally saving a beautiful [single] young woman. Mall ninjas prepare for "active shooter" scenarios to demonstrate their combat evasion rolls like they do while playing Counter Strike or Call of Duty. Carrying more than one blade or flashlight is not uncommon.

Most mall ninjas will brag about their skills (even if they have none), and their desire to join the Navy SEALs, SWAT, or a "sniper team" but they can't cause they were injured or too deadly. They often talk about the very fact they are carrying a weapon or show it off. Sometimes they will stretch or turn just so you get a glimpse of their "cold steel". Statements such as "stay here, let me check it out", "don't worry, I am armed", or "you are safe now, I have a gun" usually precede a public incident. It is believed that mall ninjas practice in their bathroom mirrors quick-drawing a knife, gun, or one in each hand. It has yet to be proven, but is most likely true. Some species attempt to "dual wield" but usually suck twice as badly as they did with one weapon.
