I was thinking this too. Kind of more trashy/gangster but still quite cool

>>I don't think actually defending myself is my style and would rather get gutshot over my cellphone, wallet and most likely mediocre /fa/ approved second hand bullshit.

Guns are the great equalizer of the modern world, knives are a poor self defense choice. Let's face it with the mentality you have you'd probably hand your shit over the second you were faced with such a situation.

looking on the uk amazon for something similar but cant find shit
im sure i can find some on ebay if i look hard enough

stiletto knives are actually kind of flimsy.

Don't get a straight razor, you'll just end up cutting yourself before whoever is going to mug you stomps you out.Its one of those things you actually have to learn to use for awhile before you even think about it.

Buy a tactical pen or something.

Odds are youll be walking around with no formal training with this nice weapon you buy only to get disarmed, have it along with whatever you have stolen.

Just go without a weapon, you're not edgy for carrying one

if you don't know how to use it you might as well just hand it to your attacker so he can stab you and then take your wallet anyway

>that kid who brought a knife to school
>his name was Brandon

The best defense is having flight as your only available, full commitment option. Someone's going to fight so hard if that's the only option.

>>7227008
>tactical pen
Holy shit, those things hurt.

Don't think of these things as "tactical", they are just indestructible. I mean, it's a pen that's built like a tank, and it doubles as a glass breaker. It's basically a pike that you can write with.

>>G-give me your wallet and phone motherfucker!

You start ruffling through one of the many pockets on your favorite Rick jacket, desperately clutching for your 4chan fashion board approved stiletto knife; between the fact that you're shaking so badly that you can't think straight and considering the aforementioned pocket was designed for holding a fucking sandwich - your assailant starts to get uneasy and is now brandishing his throwaway Jennings saturday night special. Finally retrieving it, you remember that you've only used this particular knife for opening packages of other peoples second hand Ebay garments and nicking yourself - the ones you saved up months for, mind you; and are faced with the reality that not only do you not know how to use this tool in your own defense, but the mugger is not interested in your faggoty attire. He shoots you three times in the chest, takes your empty wallet and your family plan cellphone and leaves you to bleed out on a hot Florida night.

In your final breaths you mutter out "Raf Simons, Rick Owens usually w-w-wha..."

The news report (if there even is one) cites the incident as a hate crime because everyone assumed you were gay anyway.

>>7226927
haha so glad I live in England where retards like OP can't legally carry around weapons in an attempt to be stylish

get a ccw license and a gun.

ive been to florida lots of times and its getting worse with the racist blacks.

ive had a knife drawn on me when i was just walking through a park.

dont worry about effay when it comes to this. id rather have a gun and feel safe/be safe then be effay with a little 4 inch blade.

Obviously if you want an effective weapon you'll:
1) Need something effective
2) Need to train with said weapon.

Most effective weapon for self defense is a handgun. This is supported by FBI crime-stats.

As for fashionable, I rock a GLOCK (which is ugly as sin and only fashionable in tacti-core settings.)

A 1911 is a very sexy gun, classic too, but unless you have a large frame you won't be able to conceal it. Also it's a "pro's gun" -- harder to train on.

So I say get your self a J-frame Smith and Wesson.

Classic, available in numerous finishes, reliable, easy to train on, and generally viewed as a good-looking gun.

Yeah, for a woman.

>>7227603
>But revolvers are /fa/
I agree.
A classic, simple firearm.

Also great for close-in personal defense.
Real-world fights are at spitting distance, you probably won't have time to raise the gun to eye-level, let alone aim.

Revolvers are far more reliable, and will fire when pressed up against something (ie another person). A Browning-style firearm (1911, GLOCK, Sig, etc) won't work if you're shoving it into someone's gut after they've shoved you onto the ground.

Get a gun.
LEARN HOW TO USE IT.

Then join the fun of tacti-core (at least the concealed parts of it.)
Then you can decide which gun-belt and holster is the most /fa/

>>7227616
>they're disgusting and pointless, usually over designed

They don't have hammers to catch on the draw or get shit under them which would prevent firing.

They have short barrels so they conceal very well.

In what way are the pointless?

Yes, you can't hit shit outside of 20 feet, but who cares. Outside of 20 feet I'll be running the other way.

I own guns and lift weights and was in wrestling.

Personally, if I wanted to be /fa/ about defending myself, I would say boxing might work.

Now, if you aren't good at boxing, of course you're likely to get your ass kicked. Even if you've been doing it for 1-3 years, you'd still run the risk of getting knocked off balance, or even dropped. Boxing isn't beautiful when someone is green to the sport; just as a 6th grade jazz ensemble isn't going to be anywhere near as nuanced as a group of graduate students performing a jazz piece.

Beginners often take too many punches, seldom use movement as a tool to set up combinations, and have virtually no concept of shifting between defensive and offensive modes.

I started when I was ~15, and I'm 23 now. I didn't have many amateur fights, but I've done a lot of sparring. I'm at the point now where I can not only trip you up by offsetting your feet via lateral movement (and exploiting this by using straight punches and moving in before you can set down your front foot), but I can make it look pretty, too.

>>7227680
>how ugly they are though

Maybe, you're probably right.
Personally I'm not a revolver guy myself. I have a large frame so I can conceal a full-sized 1911/Hk/GLOCK.
I have been known to tuck a 38 in an AIWB when I am just running off to the store or something.

I don't really judge a gun by it's appearance because I view it as something that my life could depend one.

Keep in mind that the most beautiful pistol in the history of man was once called "old ugly."

>>7227682
Women are half as strong as men, untrained. Real fights are taken to the floor. You don't punch very easily when you are outweighed, out strengthed, and pinned on the floor. Your kitty cat won't help you unless you know the guy is there and have time to slip it on your fingers and you won't. Buy a gun. Most people have no idea how much of a difference just 10 pounds makes if you are wrestling with someone. Let alone having half the strength by default.

buy a gun phaggot.
take a knife and you could die in cold blood if you are not as strong as the person you are facing. take a gun and you have greater odds of living another day

>>7227722

>real fights are taken to the floor
>how much of a difference just 10 pounds make

You've never seriously grappled before if you think that an untrained 170lb'er has any sort of advantage against a moderately trained (let's say a blue belt in jiujitsu) 160lb'er. The heavier man will end up in a knot, 10/10.

Anyone who knows anything about grappling knows that even a white belt has the advantage against someone who outweighs them (even if it's >50lbs.

Hell, former marines/servicemen and collegiate wrestlers used to come in to our school all the time, and 99% of them outweighed most of the blue belts by about 30lbs, yet they literally could not do shit to anyone. Sure, the trained wrestlers would pin you to the ground, but it was only a matter of time until they found themselves on the shit-end of an armbar.

>>7227710
my old man has a five seven, a walther .40, a ruger mkii, and an Italian 9m from some old company that died.

All I have is a .22/mag single action rough rider revolver. I want to get a standard 1911 and a ruger blackhawk .357

Obvs we both have many more rifles and shotguns but that's it for hand guns

My cunt stepmom didn't want me to have a double action back in hs for fear of me shooting my school up

Mfw they bought me a wasr underfold ak but I couldn't have a double action because my dads liberal cunt from jersey didn't want a teenager to have a double action handgun.

I haven't got a new gun since I was 16 and I'm 20 now.

I agree, but he wants a pretty device to defend himself and those kind of revolvers are disgusting.

>thinking that competitive grappling has anything to do with street fighting

do you notice how in none of the examples you gave include the heavier person trying to punch you in the face?

unless you fight a lot (actually fight not train) knowing a martial art will have negligible influence in an actual street fight.

>>7227802
I'm the wrestler and I just put people on the ground, dominate them and ask them to calm down without hurting them. But I've only gotten in squabbles, not actual self defense fights.

>Is it really this bad over there that you have to carry a gun to feel safe walking around at night?

this is 4chan, what do you think?

there are some areas that you (as a tourist) will never go where perhaps carrying a gun is warranted. the vast majority of people who carry a gun in the states do so for political/cultural/personal insecurity reasons

>>7227802


Well, seeing as I am also the poster who recommended boxing, yes, I am quite familiar with being punched in the face.

A martial art is effective in a real setting so long as you spar with high intensity/frequency(10+ rounds/week)

>>7227812
No, unless you're in Detroit or South-Central L.A you'll be fine. Even if your carrying a gun you're still probably gonna get your shit pushed in if you don't know what you're doing/

Both very large guns for CC work.

>>7227791
I've wrestled, I've boxed, I've done Krav.

Even if I were an expert in all of them, (ahahahahahahahahahaa), I would always worry that someone would kick me in the head while I'm rolling around on the ground fighting someone else.

Youtube is full of videos where the superior fighter was taken out by some skinny-fat with a stick.

As for guns, I've had my ass saved once by a gun. That is enough for me to be a defender of guns until I die.

Depends on where you go. Our violent crime rate isn't nearly what the rest of the world thinks it is. They see these high-profile shootings or stories about the ghetto and freak out.

Avoid the ghetto and you'll be fine. Don't start shit with people and you'll be fine.

That said, I have multiple licenses to carry firearms, so I would be retarded to not carry.

>>7227815
>This might be the edgiest post I've ever encountered.

In what possible way is that edgy?

>>7227833
>who recommended boxing, yes, I am quite familiar with being punched in the face.

Getting punched in the face by someone wearing gloves is NOTHING compared to a bare fist, or a fist with rings, or an elbow, etc etc.

Boxing is fun, boxing is better than nothing, but boxing is not a weapon.

>>7227834
>Even if your carrying a gun you're still probably gonna get your shit pushed in if you don't know what you're doing/

Beyond true.

Look at Zim-Zam. The gun saved his ass, but if he wasn't retarded he never would have been pinned to the ground by a punk kid.

>>7227839

I would if it hurt nearly as much for nearly as long as OC. Military requires exposure for certain qualifications. It is the most painful thing I've ever experienced, and I've had a finger severed, broken several bones, and had a testicle kicked so hard it receded into my abdomen for a while. OC spray is a similar sensation to putting you hand on a hot stove top, but it's your face, and the pain won't do away.

They're Italian stilettos, not "flick knives" and real Italian stilettos are very high quality. The whole point them is to thrust, not slash, when used properly the likelihood of breakage is minimal.

/k/ommando here browsing among you effeminate faggots.

1911's are the staple gentleman's gun if you aren't living pre 1890's. You always see it in Hollywood. Al Capone's men, New York Mafia, anybody in a suit and wealth will always have a 1911. Anything that isn't Rock Island Armory usually runs over a thousand dollars.

If you're a gangbanger, just buy a glock and purchase the wrong ammo at the local gunstore because you're an illiterate piece of shit who can't use the sights anyways.

If you're a regular joe wearing second-hand business attire from JC Penny's or some sort of slav wearing a track suit, buy a glock 21 or a MP shield.

Saber is destroyed because of the Marines and their SUPER FUCKING AWESOME DRESS BLUES OORAH WATER DOGS. Knives are used for cardboard/Amazon packages or provoking a bunch of redguards to jump you because you bought the worthless fucking folder in your pic, OP. Tactical knives and folders are for mall ninjas decked out in their archaic MOLLE/ALICE rig and a mismatch of German Flecktarn and US M81 Woodland. Sword is for people who literally give no shits about their public opinion or HEMA groups.

Nothing wrong with pepper spray. Sure as hell beats contesting for a justified homicide in court. I also don't know of any person, be it someone who earned their strut or some punk on the street who can eat a facefull of irritant and not fall on the ground crying.

>>7229882

>thinking pepper spray are worth a damn
>claiming to be from /k/

fuck off. only acceptable pistol would be the 1911. big solid, heavy rounds, you don't need more than 8 rounds. there's a reason why its still in use for after a century

I 'may' have a expandable baton but with my states laws im better off being beaten into a coma then actually carrying one so I keep it near my bed.

Something cool about weapons though, not just guns. Didnt everyone have a stick or bat or something they were infatuated with when they were a kid, as if it were a stone wall of defense? I had a miniature baseball bat, was cool as fuck

I'm a white male in Florida, so I really have nothing to worry about with legality of my actions.

>>7230209
What big city are you moving to in Florida? you can drive to get around Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa.

The Walther PPK, James bonds gun, the PPK/S is the same with a slightly larger grip.

It's a .380 Auto, quite snappy to shoot, but its small, classy, and will kill someone dead. I carry a Browning Hi-Power myself, its heavy and full sized, but guns are very up to individual taste, and as I tell everyone who asks me what gun they should buy: buy the gun you are comfortable to carry all day. For most people this means smaller framed pistols.

Carry a rock climbers carabiner (so it won't bend) and use it as brass knuckles, Anon. Or you could carry a common pocket knife (not a stiletto as pictured) which isn't legally a weapon in the eyes of the florida justice system. However a pocket knife is far from an ideal self defence weapon because it lacks a guard which will stop your hand from sliding up and cutting your fingers while stabbing.

TL;DR rock climbing approved carabiner brass knuckles

Haha, used to know two guys here in Moscow, one was 23 and another 18, both carried knifes, posted that shit on facebook etc, were quite tough. The one who was 23 pulled it out in a fight and got killed by it, the other one got his right arm broken and was beaten really badly. Guess you really got to know how to use that shit. Never carried a knife since 15 or 16, I'll lose in a knife fight, won't do any good if I'm threatened by a gun and most certainly won't use it if it's a fist fight, so what's the point.

Take your pick

If only these were 1/10 the cost

Or one of these

You do not speak for /k/

If you were a true /k/ommando you would know that the differences in handgun cartridges are negligible for the most part.
