You qualified with a freaking .22? Is that what you are going to be
carrying on the street?

Sigh...Im going to have to bitch slap you.

SLAPPPPP!!!!!

You should know better than that. You run what you carry!!!

If you want to shoot a target gun, go to a target match.

If you are going to shoot a bad guy, you had best be shooting with great
regularity the gun you shoot the sumbitch with.

If you shoot him with that 22..the chances are good he is going to take
all 10 hits, pull it away from you, beat your brains loose, stuff it up
your ass, then walk off and die 3 blocks away.

Damn dude!!

Isnt that thumbrest a bitch shooting lefthanded...chuckle

.22s are cheap...so am I. I don't have a carry piece, every pistol I have
is huge. I guess I need a new one. I've been waiting for Roger to die so
I
can have his Detonics


Huge? Define "huge"

THis is the one I usually have tucked away on my person....

It WILL need some TLC out of the box. 99.9% of them were flakey as
shipped, but cleaned and tuned up very very nicely. Maybe 45 minutes
work when not familiar with it. Double action only, and very adequate
out to 20 yrds or more. They are smaller than a PPK..so tuck away
nicely. No sharp edges either.

They do kick. Sharp and savagely Im told. Shrug..Ive shot mine for years
and dont even notice. 5 in the mag, one in the chamber. I can at 7 yrds
(2 weeks ago) put all 6 in the skull of a 1/2 sized b-70 in 1.9 seconds.
So they are very controllable.

Another good choice would be a good used Colt Detective Special, with a
load of P+ 125gr JHPs. (Gold Dots)

A very fine weapon and one Ive carried for years.

Both are small enough with enough payload to convice the bad guy that he
****ed up.

Ask yourself if you want a wheel gun or a self loader..then drop me an
email and Id be happy to work you up a list and sources.

The smallest pistol I have is my XD-9 Tactical. For carry, I'd want
something like a S&W Airweight hammerless .38, something that I won't need a
gun bearer, or I wont habitually have it with me.
