Yeah, I can't see it being fun to shoot with the larger calibers. But with light loaded 9mm, it has little recoil. My wife even liked shooting it. While all guns could be used for self-defense (except my J-22, I wouldn't trust it), not all guns are bought for self-defense. My LCR 357 work just fine for that and if i needed a backup I'd use my wife's Beretta Pico 380, or my Charter Arms 38spl undercover. My Ruger Vaquero Bisley 357 isn't for self-defense, but it is a fun gun to shoot, maybe a backup going hunting, though I'd take my 44 mag for that or borrow one of my dads rifles. It's a novelty gun, and sometimes those are just fun to have and shoot. Kinda like Bad Ninja was saying. One of these days I may break down and buy a pistol, but I prefer revolvers, I can always shoot my wife's guns.
Good post.
In fact, now that you mention it...most of my firearms really aren't meant for SD/HD unless dastardly Dan is comin for my cattle.
I buy for different reasons.
Usually whatever moves me at the time.
I love the old and weird stuff best.
Impractical derrringer?
Right up my alley.
Shooting this separates the men... from the crazy men.
