  • Nice Kimber...

    I received this in an e-mail and thought it was pretty funny. Whether it is true or not, I don't know. There was nothing about it on Snopes and I didn't feel like taking the time to look it up on craigslist. I edited it to be pg in red...

    To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown (Downtown, Savannah )

    I was the white guy with the black Burrberry jacket that you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize.

    I didn't expect you to crap your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?

    I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself some gas on your card. I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet, then I threw the wallet itself in a dumpster.

    I called a bunch of XXX phone numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel recently shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's office with it. Oh well.

    So, about your pants. I know that I was a little rough on you when you did this whole attempted mugging thing, so I'd like to make it up to you. I'm sure you've already washed your pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like to reimburse you for the detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you use, and was it liquid or powder? I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky. If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch and laundry. Peace!

    That's pretty funny. Kind of far fetched, but funny. It would be interesting to find out if it actually happened though.

              Agreed, I dont see how anyone would carry a DE... way to bulky and heavy to carry comfortably... and good luck concealing it

                When I worked at Sports Authority, we sold the Desert Eagle .50 cals. Each gun we had in stock had a manufacturer listing as to it's recommended use. It's some wacky Connecticut law for sale of firearms.

                Anyway, handguns like Berettas, Glocks, etc were listed as protection, police, and target range.

                The Desert Eagle .50? Large game hunting.

                I always found that funny. Ken is right, however. The gun is extremely heavy for carrying. I suppose it would be fine for home protection. Just the sight of that beast would have most intruders wimpering.

                        As the owner of a .357 DE I can confirm it is NOT practical for anything except drawing a crowd at the range. It's heavy, awkward, hard to hold on to (even w/hogue grips) and not extremely accurate. It has a very long recoil so any type of double tap is very difficult and, the .357 version at least, is very picky about what rounds it will fire consistently. Most off the shelf stuff I have tried fails to properly cycle the slide 1 out of 5 times. the best bet I have had is with a custom reload which at many ranges is not allowed.

                        But don't get me wrong, it is fun to shoot.

                              I think this is a bunch of hooey. Why would somebody commit and document a rash of crimes after scaring an aggressor with their firearm? Sorry to spoil the fun, but this is kinda far fetched and ridiculous. If it is in fact true, the guy brandishing the Kimber is lower on the intelligence meter then the aggressor.
