There were a coupla those things, Jo morphed one to play her gag. But if they shot Jo why didn’t she morph the bullet? Inquiring minds and all that crap.

I guess Sam is out of practice on partial reloads with a revolver… and I don’t care if the cylinder IS out, watch where you’re pointing that thing!

You’re assuming she’s the only one who fired. Zed’s handgun is out, too.
Likely TWO shots.

They did make her jump, after all.
So she pulled something also.
Like.many of Heinlien’s heroines, Sam is always armed. But considering how she dresses, where’s she HIDING that Roscoe?

Never even heard of it. Had to look it up. Now I want a copy ASAP.
I thought “Variable Star” (RAH/Spider Robinson) was the last release of RAH books.

The ”new” book starts on page 152. I’m with them on Barsoom now.. The Patterson RAH biography covers the origin of this precursor to 666, and the marketing for Pankera has been a bit mysterious (though perhaps for legal reasons). In any case, a once in a lifetime event that should be rocking the world..

I ordered Pankera this afternoon. I will NOT get stuck behind the “power curve” again, like I did with “Variable Star”. I bought that one 2-3 years after its publication, paid a VERY pretty penny for it (with SR’s signature) (and a lot of searching online to even find it – low publication?). Should be here EOM April-early May.

Judging from your “picture”, you don’t need a hip holster, you need a flash-bang! All the ladies in my family carry flash-bangs. Some in addition to a lower back waist holster. The flash-bangs are more fun. If you don’t know what they are, I’m sure one of the readers can explain. I don’t think that flash-bangs would of any use for shooting down drones, however, but they are great for self defense. At least the perp will go out with a smile.

I envy a steady hand like that.
In terms of hand cannons I just rely on the old 1911, rattle and all, just because I agree with Gen. Abrams “It’s a fine weapon for defending oneself in a crowded elevator.”
April 17, 2020 at 11:31 pm

I’m pretty good with a 1911, about 25 to 30 yards out. With a .380, ‘”close to you,” applies. VC approached our 2.5 ton, from behind. M60, froze. Colt 1911, didn’t.

Zed in front, carrying a blue semi-auto (they make some very nice ones nowadays, with colored frames), Sam’s hands reloading her revolver. (And, yes, she needs to move that muzzle a few more degrees to her left….)

I’m guessing it’s just the lighting that makes it look blue?
My Artistic interpretation is it’s a a Glock 19 with a TLR7 or 8 on it. While I’m interpreting things, Sam has a S&W 681.

Did Zed get shot in the tuchus? Or is he just wearing jeans that need to be burned? (Screw Levi’s)

Okay, all you muzzle discipline fanatics – yes, it’s important with a gun, and treat every gun as if it were loaded, etc. BUT LIGHTEN UP! When it’s in a safe condition, such as when the cylinder is open on a revolver and it’s in her hand or when it’s a semi-auto with the magazine removed and slide locked open, then it’s SAFE. If you want to critique something, pick on the fact she should have the revolver in her left hand with two center fingers around the cylinder and through the frame, loading the cartridge into the chamber with the right hand…
Okay, fine – let the flames begin.
April 18, 2020 at 5:52 pm
Sam
Actually –
There’s really not enough of the gun showing. It could be pointed at the ground between them. Can’t tell since we can’t see any of the barrel.
Also, DL, that’s generally one of the recommended ways to hold it when doing a full dump and reload from speed loader, but she’s only replacing one round.
Personally, I’ve never used that method. I keep the revolver in my right hand, hit the cylinder release with my right thumb, then flip the cylinder open with the fingers of my left hand reaching under the trigger guard, then tip the revolver up and hit the ejector rod with my left hand. Then I use the fingers of my right hand to keep the cylinder from turning while I replace the spent cartridges, either one or two at a time, or all at once from a speed loader. Then close it with my left hand and back in business. No switching the gun back and forth from hand to hand.
And that’s sure to get some different flames beginning!

Aaand…did they just shoot down the Jo drone?
I’m pretty sure that’s the plot.
