I suspect it was when women went from Silk stockings that were opaque, into thinner stockings, Nylons, that were somewhat transparent. With the thinner stockings you could see their skin and possibly the leg hair. During WWII women had difficulty getting stockings due to the wartime shortages. They were know to resort to painting lines down the back of their legs to look like the seam of a stocking. Possibly the painted seam and bare leg, looked more like fake stockings if they shaved the hair off the leg. I have for years, tried to convince my wife that lengthy licking would remove leg hair, if it were done for a long enough time. Of course, I may have not have had leg hair in mind, but that's for another time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite surprised at how easily it shot. .45 Colt was very comfortable to shoot in it accurately. However, I'll just stick to my .45. My son has one and I used to own one. .410 slugs hurt my wrists so much that I sold it. I too will stick with the 1911 in .45acp. tom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was useful, but not bullet proof. I'm impressed a pistol caliber was turned back from a direct hit. I was saved from a Bouncing Betty type ordinance by one. 2 balls hit the helmet, otherwise it missed, but that would have been plenty. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the new Kevlar helmets, from what I've heard are exceptional. Thank you for your service sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your service sir. The replacement was heavy and kind of fragile. I saw many of them break, they were advertised as rifle proof (never said which ones though), but no one believed it. Couldn't shave, bathe, or boil water in them either. I won't get started on the first gen MRE's,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,botulism in a bag, and mostly cold. Good times, LOL They may have really been better and I'm sure the later generations are, but sometimes "better" really isn't better. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have in my garage a first aide kit that falls just short of surgery. My go to is "Liquid Bandage". Sure it burns like hell, but it stops the blood and lasts through 2 or more showers before needing another coat. The worst one was when I shot a finish nail through my finger nail missing the bone. I had to get a big pliers to pull the nail out while bracing my hand against the vice face. That's a "scrape" in my book! Oh, I still have the black from the pencil lead in my leg. Graphite is inert!

My old brief case from work holds a KelTek sub 2000 with two 33 round magazines and one 50 round rotary. I like the idea of bringing my work home with me, it's on the floor by the living room chair.

At the moment the 12 gauge 26+ inch long “firearms” by Mossberg and Remington and possibly others would fill the bill - especially those semi-automatics with removable magazines. At the moment. Arm braces for handguns were legal until they weren’t. As were bump stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might even put an extended tube on it. The barrel is 20 inch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
