    +1 on Waitones advice regarding the steel guns, do not agree comment on people pulling back the hammer just beacuse it is there. The Taurus 850 is a good choice almost bought one, but the the clerk pulled out the 851 and had to buy it. Go Shrouded hammer!

    Efective range of a snub nose revolver

    Hey, Assuming that we live in a perfect world where your aim was a 100% accurate, lets say you have a powerfull scope on your snub revo, how far could you shoot a target (a bad guy) and hit it with enough power to kill.? Remember we are talking about a snub nose revolver, lets say a S&W 442. FER

    Is a .22lr better than nothing?

    Some people say a .22lr is better than nothing and I agree, but that is not all to be said if you carry a .22lr as your only carry piece and a lot of peolple do carry a .22lr. If you carry only a .22lr for defence your mind set should be to use it as a tool to escape or slow down the atack but...
