To each his own, but I don't buy in to the notion that a handgun is just another "tool".Sorry, but I'll skip the romanticism when it comes to tools.
I'm the weapon, not the hunk of metal.
Yes, even an unarmed determined human is certainly nothing to be taken lightly, but since the birth of mankind humans quickly discovered that those who used weapons fared much better than those who did not.
"I'm the weapon, not the hunk of metal." is a neat little catch phrase, but it's just too simplistic for reality.
The original poster wants a handgun, and no matter how nice the rifle or shotgun, it just isn't going to scratch that itch.
