With the master bedroom as the chosen saferoom, if that perspective were achieved; I had a great narrowed approach to defend. However, the bedroom occupied by my (extremely mechanically inclined!) daughter is exactly at the T where the two approach legs meet, were I defending in this manner. These are the factors that caused my disposal of a very nice collection of over 20 different pieces. 45/70, M1s, Krag rifle, Edistone rifle, *artillery Luger, 1917 revolver, 1911 auto, 30 carbine,, AR15, 03 Springfield, 1907 .45long, Walther PK, Desert Eagle in .50mag, P38, Radom pistol and Rifle and more, and so on and so on. What tickles me, there was a scene in the movie Scent of a woman, where a supposed Colonel, (or was it Major) went blind. He used to time himself to assembl his 1911 .45 Colt. Great, 45 seconds, or whatever it was. I had cleaned alot of pistols by then, and though I didn't like the manner of that pistol's breakdown compared to the Radom, P38, Sig's, High Power (also called p38) or any of the other and later Browning designs, I found I could both "break down" and "assemble" that pistol in *his same time. 27 seconds for the P38 Radom or Sig. Oh well.
