Okay, so they're not going to stop a charging rhino. So no one has hi-capacity magazines for them nor do they make scopes for them. Still, no one's handgun collection would be complete without at least one or two mouse guns. Or maybe three or four.
But what is it about them that makes them so desirable? Is it part of our childhood's craving of toys? Do these tiny revolvers and autoloaders remind us of the little pistols our mothers or fathers bought us? Or is it our desire to see everything miniaturized? Kind of like those highly detailed cars that sport doors that open and lights that flash? Or is it our fascination with "modern marvels"? (Isn't there a model of a Colt single-action revolver that shoots real bullets, though miniaturized?)
Actually, I know of one person who collects nothing but tiny guns. He calls it his "sniz" collection, sniz standing for "Saturday Night Special."
How many mouse guns do YOU have, and why do you have them? And do you trust them to do what their supposed to do? I've seen many news reports in my day of people successfully using them to stop bad guys, and a surprising number of little .25 autos have actually killed them...the bad guys that is. The whole idea behind them is, no one likes to be shot! And I've talked to people who have been shot with .22LRs. One was working on his house and got hit from behind. The guy who fired the bullet was at a range close to a mile away. It did a surprising amount of damage.
According to experts, they shouldn't be useful for much except as conversation pieces. What do YOU say? And where are your pictures?
