In terms my overall conops

I more focused on evacuating my wife to the safe area

Then counterattacking

And I don't want to kill them, I want to capture if possible

Then I can find out who they are, where they came from, and where their families live

I was an elite soldier, and I grew up in the Hood, I know what I'm doing

If you come after a hood : fuck you, and your family too

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I kinda like the way it looks with the laser.
It's Judge Dredd-esque.

Laser.

But beyond the aesthetics, which are clearly a matter of personal tastes, I think it's a more usable weapon for an untrained shooter with the laser.
The gun weighs 13.5 oz.
The barrel is 4.74 cm (1.87").
It's a tiny gun. Hitting anything more than 20' away takes practice. My wife is a realtor, so it's a good CC piece for her, but I think adding the laser will only help her accuracy. That's the main goal.
I've seen these revolvers before on tv and youtube without the hammers. Is that a style choice or is it a functional one? Does it allow you to pull the trigger faster?

Got little girls in the house so my primary concern is ending whatever threat exists as soon as possible.
If evacuation is that route, cool.
If not ... something gettin' shot.

Be easier on everybody if predators just stay outta my house tho.
Let's go with that.

Absolutely

But the cops can't really protect you

If you can capture and interrogate, you have the sword of damocles over their families now

So if something ever happens to my wife ? No mercy, no quarter then

pocket shooting. That's pretty awesome.




I do not own any firearms, but if I did I'd probably go with a .38 for revolver.

On the cool factor for handguns, the cz-75 b has always looked awesome to me. I have no idea if it is reliable, but there is something about it that I dig. That or the Walther PPK.

Get the point three five seven magnum, which can also load thirty eight special

Best of both worlds, point three eight spec for range, point three five seven magnum for war
