Mine cost me $370 years ago One of the best and most versatile J-frames ever. Mine was a pre-lock. How bad do you want it? Tough call.

Recommend a Stoeger Luger replica The .22 LR Stoeger Luger replica was my very first handgun. It was deadly accurate and never jammed or otherwise misfired. One of the most ergonomically perfect pistols I have yet fired. Wish I still had it! Mine came with wood grips.

I've owned a P11, P32, and P-3AT. The P11, for me was much too large to carry in the pocket. The other two, however, were close to ideal in size. I carried the P32 in an Uncle Mike's size 1 pocket holster and the P-3AT in a DeSantis Nemesis. My older model P11 had several issues; my P32...

How about this: Let HER pick out the gun she wants! I've found that if I pick ANYTHING out for the wifey and she does not like it, not only will she not use the thing but I hear no end of it either. I know as men, we want to jump in and "help" or "fix" things but I find choosing a handgun...

Old, ugly, but effective... Rossi model M677 .357 mag 6 shot revolver with 2" barrel. I carry Hornady JHP's in it in .38 spcl.

I take mine anywhere I'm not going through a metal detector, being patted down or asked to "turn your pockets inside out." I drive an 18 wheeler and at the entrance to any military location, the security officials do a thorough cab search (including my lunch box) undercarriage search, engine...

Here's another reason... My son is also a long-distance cyclist who does a 60 mile round-trip commute to his office 2-3 times a week here in south metro Atlanta. His problem is not so much the 2 footed variety of predator but the FOUR-legged variety. He rides through some tough-looking...

What a piece! I'm going to date myself but I can vividly remember the California Highway Patrolmen when they used to tote this "hog-leg" as standard issue. Intimidating? Oh good grief, yes.:eek:

DA practice makes all of your shooting better I have owned both a Mod 638 Bodyguard and a 340SC Scandium. Good practice for me is to make it as real-life as possible. That means drawing/acquiring/firing. Since I pocket-carry, I draw/acquire/fire as quickly as possible and my target is...

Need two autoloaders to last a lifetime? They're called "REVOLVERS." :evil: No all kidding aside, I'd opt for an all stainless steel framed 1911. I think the only weak link would be the magazine springs (?) I'd bet a semi-auto, well maintained, would last more than a lifetime and you could...

First things first.... Take some of that $1500 and get some basic training in the shooting arts; it will make all the difference in the world. All I can share is the two semi-autos that made me a better shooter and they're both in the two calibers you are considering: H & K full-sized...

Comparing 9 mm with .357 mag... no comparison (!) I heartily concur with ndolson............ Having shot full-pressure 9mm loads out of my fairly light Kel-Tec P11 and loads out of my 30 oz Rossi M677 6-shot 2" barrel .357 mag.......whew, no comparison there. While the 9 mm is brisk on...

Pocket-carried a Taurus Mod 605 easily... It is built on the same frame as the Mod 85 Ultralite. For pocket carry, I took the larger grips off the 605 and replaced them with the mod 85 boot grips which makes it a slick carry piece. Shooting characteristics? recoil is stout but manageable...

Still another... Ain't it purdy? Taurus Ultralite Mod 85 with rosewood grips.

Here's another one: The ultimate in "horsepower-to-weight ratio" S&W 340 SC .357 mag, 12 oz
