Hey, have any of you guys ever used a handgun in self defense?
Yep.
Folks sure have.
Some choose not to post, then again a search will turn up some replies.
Firearms run from .22 caliber rim-fire and up, btw.
Hey, have any of you guys ever used a handgun in self defense?
I never saw a snubbie that shot to point of aim.
the revolver is an obsolete museum piece.
You could always carry two j frames at the same time. I believe that Massad Ayoob has said that he has done this from time to time. I am considering carrying my S & W637 as a backup to my 642 with the CT grips.
Amen, and ... amen.2-If you learn to shoot a Jframe well you can learn to shoot anything well.
... so then, I asked myself, "Self, given where you hang out, and your habits,Are your chances good against 5 armed guys? No they are not. So why make them worse by limiting yourself to a 5 shot pocket revolver?
... so then, I asked myself, "Self, given where you hang out, and your habits,
what's the probability that you're going to run up against 5 armed guys?"
And self answered, "Umm, about 0.000001."
"But", I doggedly pursued the questioning, "if you did get tangled up with 5 armed guys,
would you really be 'better off' with a faster reloading, high cap semi-auto?"
Self thought for a second, then answered:
"Naw, 'cause my last name is not Earp."
After that conversation, I still feel ok with my 642.
