Will your scary-looking eeeeeeviiiiiil black pistol look bad when waved about the courtroom by a prosecutor? Will it frighten the jury?

If the law is on your side, it doesn't matter. Get a better lawyer.

If some junkie threatens me and my girlfriend, I WANT to pull out the biggest, baddest, scariest piece of weaponry I can, a phazer/flamethrower/Ma Deuce/Phalanx cannon with laser sights, a chainsaw for a bayonet and a muzzle big enough to climb into.

Well, OK, that might be a bit extreme.

But intimidation can be a very useful thing. Sure a .22 can kill you, but the muzzle looks tiny. The muzzle of a .45 looks like a train tunnel when pointed at you in anger and can be very intimidating. If possible, I want to intimidate the goon and end the disturbance right there.

I've noticed that most ppl deal with my Taurus M85UL better than my 1911s and my LDA. So to me, it seems the sheeple arent as threatened by a wheelgun, but on the other hand, its a little .38 instead of a Raging Bull.

...and that's a BAD thing????

A semi-auto looks "badder" than a sixgun?

Put a small blue-framed Kel-Tec P32 on the table.

Then put a 6.5" S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum next to it.

"Do ya feel lucky punk?"

I personally think that large-frame revolvers are far more intimidating than ANY semi-auto. Except perhaps the Desert Eagle, and that's only because I don't want to be pistol-whipped with it.

But those .357 Magnums can kill people in one shot!

Don't let them play that game

Skunk's right. If we let the anti's frame the argument we automatically lose -- we'll be left having to defend either a "huge weapon designed to kill in one shot" or a "small weapon designed for concealment".
