You should get one. Then we can get matching purses. YES!Doog_de_Jour said:

Hurtful. Also, I think your response might have invalidated the protective order, so game on! Pancakes? I can make them in the shape of my sweet sweet girl gun.Doog_de_Jour said:I take it you bought the appropriate matching holster?
Though pancakes are tasty...
In all seriousness, that’s a beautiful gun. Glad you treated yourself! -
Yes. Same for law enforcement, although this change occurred much later in the 20th century. ATBSJBS, I'm not a cop, don't serve in the military, and don't have plans to get into any drug gang related shootouts requiring multiple double stack magazines. People forget that most self defense situations involving normal law abiding citizens are resolved in 1 or 2 shots at most.Sledog said:

This would strictly be for shooting watermelons, beer cans and 2 litres in the back woods of WA. Also for camping trips and what not. Revolvers are simple to maintain and are fun to target shoot with. The ability to use .38 speshial too in it appealing as well. -
Here's Swaye's next gun

If we’re going to bash Derringer pistols that are small enough to fit into a garter holster then I’m out!YellowSnow said:Here's Swaye's next gun

No. They quite using them because they were too unreliable in battlefield conditions. I don't care what anyone carries that's a personal choice. But the bigger the hole means more blood out and more air in! I've never used the 9mm for serious business. I've seen it work and I've seen it fail. Modern ammo helps but it's always punching the smaller hole. Where one hits is more important than what one hits with. More effective calibers just give you a slightly larger margin of error. Some people refuse to stop their actions or die easily.Swaye said:
Yeah because wimps can't handle recoil. 357 is a fantastic round. Almost all rounds are fantastic if used properly by someone who actually trains. I routinely carry the following rounds...Sledog said:

9MM
.357 Mag (now)
10MM (BOOM)
.38 SUPER (awesome round)
.44 Special
In the past I have also carried:
.380
.45 ACP
If I could find a carry appropriate gun I would carry:
5.7X28MM
All of them work. -
Are you referring to the military's decision to go away from revolvers or .357? .357 wasn't even developed until well after the US Army adopted .45ACP. I think @swaye was referencing .357 recoil here.Sledog said:

That the military went away from revolvers and then I addressed calibers a bit. Everyone should bet their life on what they believe. Education and real world experience do help though.YellowSnow said:

I've got an Enfield Mk II No. 1 Tanker's pistol chambered for the 38/200 which is unavailable in this cuntry, so I have to use .38 S&W in it instead. Smaller version of the Webley .455 breaktop. Muzzle velocity is about 600 fps, and on longer shots at the range I swear you can see the damn thing arcing. POW!...putt POW!...putt
They wanted something with low muzzle velocity so that if you missed your target (somebody invading your tank) you wouldn't have to deal with wicked ricochets in a closed space.

38/200 is the .38 S&W loaded with a 200 grain bullet. They never should have dropped the .455 but back then handguns saw less use than they do in the modern military.BearsWiin said:I've got an Enfield Mk II No. 1 Tanker's pistol chambered for the 38/200 which is unavailable in this cuntry, so I have to use .38 S&W in it instead.
