Most automatics are incredibly well made and well-made, but junk ammo is junk ammo. The ammunition is widely available and in a revolver, the varying qualities will be less of an issue when it comes to failure to fire, extracts, or eject. The 9mm round is everywhere and in use by the majority of police and military forces. One round that is common around the world that is compatible with some revolvers is the 9mm round. Neither is 44 Magnum, 45 Colt, or most revolver cartridges. It’s popular but not likely to be the most common round out there. The 38 Special is a classic round but is it used worldwide? Yes and no. So if the gray man cannot source magazines why not bring a firearm that doesn’t need a magazine? That leads us to the revolver. Initially, I thought about some kind of 80 lower receiver firearm like a home built 1911 or Polymer 80 Glock, but then that doesn’t solve my logistics issues for magazines. When it comes to bringing a gun to a dangerous place where a logistics might be a nightmare, ammo may be hard to source, as well as magazines, and other gear. So the local flavor is the number one choice, be it a Makarov, a TT-33, a Glock, or a Taurus PT 92. It blends in, extra magazines and ammo will be available so you can just drop one and possibly pick another one up when things go bad. The Local ChoiceĬlearly, the logical winner would be what are the locals carrying? You need logistics and what’s local might be easy to acquire. This got me thinking what type of gun would be perfect for an “Operational” gray man, someone doing dangerous things in dangerous places.
The gray man doesn’t carry a MOLLE’d out backpack or laptop bag, doesn’t wear that sweet NRA shirt or hat and typically wants to look unassuming. A gray man can be any number of people, from criminals to cops, to the civilians in situations they don’t want to be in. Throughout a normal day, a normal person doesn’t worry about this, but if you are planning to do something dangerous then its best not to be noticed. It’s someone who is trying to keep an incredibly low profile, to avoid drawing attention to themselves. The Gray man as a concept is simple to understand.
