“A domestic dispute over space aliens escalated Saturday morning when a lingerie-clad New Mexico woman allegedly pointed a silver handgun at her boyfriend, a weapon she retrieved from her vagina, where it had been placed while the accused was performing a sex act, police allege.” If that’s not enough to make you read on, check your pulse. The, um, accused is Jennifer McCarthy, ex-wife of Pulitzer Prize winner, Cormac. “After removing the gun from her vagina, McCarthy pointed it at her boyfriend’s head, investigators charge. Fearing that he could get shot, the man grabbed the weapon from McCarthy and put it in the toilet.” ‘Cause where else would you stash an over-lubed heater? The only question is, did she use Rem Oil or Astroglide? Oh, and you’re welcome. [h/t Kirk K.]
Personally, I wish they would make one in a 9. but, honestly, they probably will..just like ruger did with the lcp, lc380, lc9. This just makes them more money. And another thing. an easier shooting defensive, super concealable gun, that has a better trigger than other 380’s its size?, sounds perfect for a woman’s market.. Smart move on Glock’s part. I bet you the 9 will come out in a yr or 2.
Which controlled substance did the cops find at the scene?
Meth is EVERYWHERE. Probably a favored-status customer of the late Walter White.
Well, at least someone has solved the conundrum of shower carry. But there’s no way that a guy is going to shove up pistol up his coolie. Anyway, not this guy.
The quest for male shower carry goes on.
I thought I’d already solved that:

Rabbi ought to man up and carry a 4th pistol.
I have a bunch of Rugers, all built like brick $#!thouses, but my Super Redhawk in .44Mag is truly a beast. It shoots Buffalo Bore 340-grain without any stomach upset (just a little rough on my wrist, but so what?)
“Which controlled substance did the cops find at the scene?”
All of them!
all i could think of while reading this was Bullwinkle pulling the rabbit from his hat….as we all know it wasn’t a rabbit
The Road has been rough to her. Lots of miles on that face. One question. Was it a 5 shot j frame, a double tapp or a Deagle .50? Bored minds want to know.
That opening sentence started out great, got even better, and then went totally awesome.
That’s straight out of one of Cormac McCarthy’s novels, like something a silent cartel hit-woman would do to assassinate a crooked oil man.
Wait one second…this apparently started with a dispute over SPACE ALIENS. An inquiring mind wants to know. Do these two have the keys to the ET question? Btw I would have much preferred Laurie Holden as Marita Covarrubias.
Space aliens.
Man, these Coast-to-Coast AM listeners are LOYAL.
NOW Shannon has something to aspire to…
A silver gun???? Wait just a minute; was it a revolver, pistol or rifle? Some pertinent facts shouldn’t be left to the imagination.
The article said it was a S&W so I would guess revolver. That poor pistol suffered through a great ordeal first being used as a sex toy by her, then being thrown into the toilet by the boyfriend followed by being thrown in the trash only to be recovered by the police to be locked up for the rest of it’s life.
Now we have an answer for why cavity searches are conducted that doesn’t involve trying to find drugs.
What kind of pu$$y settles arguments with a gun, anyway?
The Road is one of the most compelling books I have ever read.
I think I’m starting to understand the trend toward smaller ‘pocket’ pistols.
I used to think Cormac was creative. Now I get it; He’s just a crusty SW version of Hemingway, writing what he knows.
The ultimate in undercover deep concealment back up gun. Your carry gun should always be on your person, or in your “safe”.
or in your person.
If it was an 8 shot revolver everyone can start calling her Octopussy…
It was a goose gun and they were discussing the best caliber/weapon to use to shoot down a UFO. She said 50 cal she said 20 ga. Then she said I got your 20 ga right here, as she brandished it.
Well, with all that talk about phallic symbols and dick compensation from the left, some idiot was bound to take it literally sooner or later.
Damn. We are not all like that in New Mexico. Promise.
Gives a whole new meaning to the acronym POTG.
Bring back the supermodels already
Where’s Dirk? I can’t wait to see what he has to say about this one.
I suspect Shannon Watts will quietly remove her charter member founder and president of the santa fe chapter. . . . this mom apparently got what they demand.
Dirk, it’s so awesome that you show up when people ask where you are. It’s like in the old cartoons when the people cry for their hero and he suddenly appears.
“Oh somebody please help!”
::Superman lands on a rooftop:: “This looks like a job for…. Superman!”
>_< I didn't need that mental image.
A hunnit ‘n fiddy?!?!?! Nah-Uh, brother!
(first)
Whoa, whoa. Say what? Huh? Cormac is a great writer. His ex is … A special case. I bet that she has an awesome Kegel regimen. Extreme concealed carry.
A: Make it in a Left-Handed model.
B: Knock about a hundred bucks off the price.
C: FDE and OD would be nice in addition to black, but you COULD always just paint the damned thing.
My first thought when seeing this was “wait, didn’t they already post this article earlier today?” Then I noticed it was for the AR instead of the SCAR. Before reading, I sort of hoped this was some clever bit of engineering that would allow side charging of the AR while allowing the user to maintain proper cheek weld. After seeing it, though, I’m left wondering what problem this solves as that issue would still be present with this device. It could maybe, possibly, slightly reduce the distance your off-hand has to travel in order to actuate the charging handle? For $150? No… I don’t think I’m the target demographic for this particular bit of metal.
Very nice gun after some mods however firing pin sucks. Like the author of this site stated (mis- fires) I two had a number of them. Turns out it was not the ammo it was a cheap firing pin. After less than 100 rounds the firing pin mushroomed to the point I had to refile the end. It now works great.
Not received by or have the correct postmark date?
No sympathies here.
Vajayjokes on TTAG!!!
Stupid like a spoiler on a 2001 honda civic
I’m a little baffled as to why ya’ll feel the need to carry a snake gun. I’ve done plenty of ranch and back country work on horseback and have yet to need to resort to a firearm to dissuade a serpent. Backing up a few feet and giving them a chance to scurry has always worked just fine for me.
I am familiar with the website “Guess Her Muff” (http://www.guesshermuff.net/?zx=5a97bd813208ba6e warning: NSFW), but I didn’t know the first successful spin off will be “Guess What’s In Her Muff?”
The Lehigh Defense .45LC ME cartridges for this pistol produce spectacularly horrific results–I want one.
Am I right in assuming that this gun is for 2 1/2″ .410 shells only (shot gun aspect) Too bad it wont handle three inch, then again, if it could, I’m not so sure my arthritic hands could handle it.
Hmmm. Wonder what else is up there? Maybe that’s where the .22LR has gone.
They actually made a POCKET holster for the 42?!?!
I feel for the guy who seriously thinks hes going to pocket carry that
Just what I need, another protruding knob on my AR and if it does snap off no way to charge the dang bang stick!
Would you call that “tw*t” shot.
In every man’s past, there is at least one totally batsh!t crazy woman. For some of us, however, that list may get a little lengthy…
Luckily, beer, guns and the internet (in no specific order) can make better companions than women for the modern man.
Don’t you mean: In every *lucky* man’s past…..
You’ve ruined what was left of my love life
Hold the phone, I saw Benchmade 1911 and nearly kicked my shoes off in a fit of joy as somehow my favorite knifemaker meshed with my preferred sidearm.
I enthusiastically clicked but is was Benchmark dammit, Benchmark!
Thanks for the vid review, STB410. Really like to see the ballistic tests.
I guess I have to weigh in… I try not to comment on the Judge a lot, because it’s one of those hot button issues (as you’ve noted). Kinda like mentioning Kel Tec or 9mm vs.45 vs.40, or Glock, or the Socom16. It gets everyone all riled up. I’m somewhere in the middle.
Anyway, I own a Judge (full size) 3” magnum stainless (and the XDs) and I agree with most of what you say… but kind of draw a different conclusion I guess.
As you’ve noted, we certainly wouldn’t use the Judge for CCW (and definitely not my full sized Judge) – so I probably wouldn’t have used XDs as a comparison.
IMO, it’s not better than many other options of ‘standard’ firearms at the specific roles of self-defense or concealed carry or even home defense or as a hunting sidearm. As you noted, not a good option for bear defense, it’s not super concealable or ideal shot-pattern for CCW, it doesn’t have high capacity like 15 rounds of .45 JHP for home defense, etc.
It sure is a fun trail gun though! That’s what I use mine for now. Keep it loaded with birdshot usually, maybe some buck or a slug – and pair it up with a Savage over/under .410/.22 for banging around the trail – in case I get attacked by a rabid raccoon or pitbull, or run across a snake or want to pop off some birdshot for fun, etc. I’m not worried about bear though and capacity is meaningless in that role.
I never thought of it a dedicated car-jacking gun, as that role and CCW is one in the same for me generally – but I could see how that would work well in that close and quick I guess.
I personally don’t find 45LC to be very accurate with the shallow rifling honestly. The lead of the old cowboy rounds wears down the rifling a bit over time, as does shooting buck and bird through it! – and the rifling wasn’t awesome to begin with, IMO. I was surprised to see your Ransom rest groups, because I don’t get great groups with my 3”, but like you say – I’ve only really used ammo made for a long gun (and I’m not a Ransom rest either of course!)
There are other preferred weapons that are, as you would probably agree, better specifically for the roles of CCW, HD, Hunting/Bear Protection (think XDs/Glock, FNX 45, Ruger .44/.454 respectively) – so IMO that really leaves night-stand gun (which for me is really my go-to HD gun), dedicated car-jacking gun (which for me is really my CCW gun) and trail gun as the best uses for the Judge — of which mine fills the latter.
As someone else mentioned, I think it was all of the hype that it was somehow a ‘devastating’ weapon that caused much of the negative reaction. Is the right .410 ammo adequate at very close range? Sure. It’s adequate. Not bad, but certainly not what one could call devastating I wouldn’t think. Although those Lehigh Defense rounds look pretty good (even with limited penetration)
Bottom line for me: It does a little bit of everything, but not any one thing great. Kinda reminds me of my ex. Hmmmm… Maybe it does belong in the car? …that’s where she performed the best.
TSA should change it to “Stop, Scream while Groped”.
I got the ported 9mm Double Tap for $340 new in box. Shot winchester silvertip 115gr hollowpoints at 7 yards. Consistent 3-5″ groups to POINT OF AIM. I carry this now as it looks like a phone in my pocket if it prints at all, and even at 50′, I kept the two shots in the 7 ring of the silhouette target. Upper and lower lobe of the right lung. Yes, I must have been pushing my shots a bit. I challenge any of the “kitchen counter” gunsmiths here to actually TRY something before condemning it.
(Don’t worry though, you’re safe behind your keyboard. No one expects anything constructive out of you on here.)
egads…………………..no.
My favorite response ever, “no, it’s not.”
Well, bye.
I’m not going to link the video. You know the one.
There was a tank? I was too busy guffawing over that dumbass store robber to see it. What a freakin’ fool.
She does appear to be a blonde; maybe that was her idea of what a stick up entails.
I think the minority groups need to cast off the love of captivity before they start criticizing the NRA on their approach. You need to embrace limited government and freedom of property rights before you can think of defending yourself. That means fighting welfare, government regulation, class preference through affirmative action, and the EPA. What’s the point of defending your person and property if you let the government determine what you own and who is preferential in owning it.
The college campus these days is nothing more than a target rich victim zone. You have the anti-gun crowd. A population of students who, for the most part, are idealistic and not cognizant that there are bad people out there who won’t hesitate to harm them. Campus police/security that can’t be in all places at all times. Add to all of this the propensity of college kids to probably not keep aware and realize the possibility of danger on campus…….easy pickings.
One minor correction: “Wolf” does not “make” any ammo. Never has. Like Ted Nugent, Wolf puts its name on ammo made by other folks. The steel-cased Wolf brand ammunition is mostly manufactured by Tulskiy Patronniy Zavod (Tula Cartridge Plant). Their .22-caliber rimfire ammunition is made by SK Jagh und Sportmunitions GmbH., which is owned by Lapua. Wolf Gold is actually made mostly by Prvi Partizan in Serbia, but some or all of the .223 is apparently coming in from Taiwan as well.
Where sure their not just acting as an importer? That’s daily common, when a European company starts selling something completely unrelated to their previouse product line.
For those of you who care, Lancer is based in PA and it’s very active in sponsoring the local shooting leagues around it’s Lehigh Valley HQ.
