Glock 26 tupperware is waterproof and my everyday fungun

But it can rust...

[RU shooter]

But it can rust...

yes they can but probably still fires and functions just fine as glocks do even under extreme use and abuse ��!
Thanks all for the suggestion there was a few I didn't think about and I will revisit my dislike of revolters in this application .

Thanks,Tim

[Hickok]

Also get a couple of these for when the fish quit biting!

But it can rust...

If you planted it a little deeper you might have grown a glock tree and would have been able to pick new ones off this season.

[Smoke4320]

Plant one 26 and get 2 42's next year .. Pruned properly and you will get a 43

I remember reading a thread about a police armorer who had a problem with the mag springs rusting, breaking, and then binding up for some of the officers on their port unit.

Salt water environment must require some extra wipe downs. Come on now.

I'm thinking he should have run it through the dishwasher each night after whatever abuse he inflicted upon it.

Another vote for the S&W J frame I have the 637 and 642. Both would work.

Well I'm a revolver guy and a M36 is my present companion BUT... I bought a TCP yesterday on a lark. My first plastic pistol and my oh my am I supprised! That thing shoots my 380 loads(RD 100gr with 3.2 of 231) right to the sights and is WAY more accurate than I expected. At cottonmouth distance I am putting all shots into a quarter(about 5 yards). I can hit coke cans at 30yards resting on the truck hood, with a little "english"! Light 10oz empty, plastic and stainless, and accurate enough to be interesting ! Shot last 4 on paper at 25 long steps into about 3 inches rested. group was 4 inches hi and 4 inches right, but I don't shoot live things that far with 380 pocket pistols. Oh, it slings brass all over creation too. OP said a pocket auto for fishing,, I would have never thought it but now I got one

I love my SW 642 - slip it into a pocket holster in your front pocket, and forget it's there. I also have al Al's kydex pocket holster for my Glock 27 (.40) and although many say it's not a pocket gun, it pocket carries well with little printing with the right pants pocket... had it in my pocket all day today in fact.

[FergusonTO35]

You must have some big pants pockets. My S&W 637 is pretty snug when carried in a Desantis Nemesis, and I'm 6'3/278. Most of the time I carry it on the ankle or in a high ride OWB.

[41special]

I've considered snub revolver but imo there too girthy to just slip in my pants pocket . Others may disagree but I likem flat . Anyone have any thoughts or suggestion?

This. Very light & flat. Load up with some high velocity hollow points & your set.

Most of my carrying involves a Polish P64, SP101 (.357 mag) or .45 Colt Commander.

The P64 is carried most of the time cause it easily fits just about anywhere. If the P64 had a good snakeshot round I'd carry it when fishing. Just can't fit enough shot in the 9x18.

So, for fishing, I carry the SP101. Snakeshot works really well and it is stainless. I usually have it in a chest/shoulder holster where I can reach it through the waders/vest.

A .38 spl, like the LCR would be my choice if I wanted really light.

PS If I already had the Kahr in .45 I'd just keep a couple snakeshot in it and keep carrying it

[tdoyka]

mine used to be(i still have it, but fishing thru wooded areas is not for stroke abled people) a rossi m68 s in 38sp. fill the cylinder up with shot shells and you fear no snake. except one of them anacondas or pythons, them you better use something along the lines of a 12 gauge with 3 1/2" buckshot. trust me, i've seen them in hollywood movies and they get BIG.

[Texantothecore]

Bond arms .45/.410 will do the trick. A good gun.
