Smaller Guns for Defense?

[Captain O]

THANK YOU thats what being an American used to be

A large part of this "accountability" is holding the youthful offender's "feet to the fire," so to speak. All too often, there aren't any "memorable" consequences for misbehavior. My father firmly believed in "pain compliance" when the offense called for it.

"The administration of justice should be tempered by mercy, but mercy should never interfere with the true administration of justice." - Me

We need to return to the days of God, discipline, and service. When children are taught these things, they genuinely consider others in their daily actions/affairs. Loving one another isn't just a platitude; it's an attitude.

My smallest gun is my J-Frames or my Glock 26. I usually prefer the J-Frame. My latest pocket J-Frame.

Grrat pocket gun, no snags!

I also have an S&W Airweight chambered in .32 H&R Magnum. Another "pocket gun".

Here's a recent acquisition.

I know this. If the CIP formula is used, you may obtain performance on par with the .32 H&R Magnum (at +p pressures).

Since you brought it up , the .32Mag is woefully underloaded .

Handicapped at 21K CUP for legacy H&R revolvers , mainstream ammo doesn't even come close to that .

Pre 1982 load manuals commonly had a section of .32 S&W Long data for " Modern Revolvers , with Swing Out Cylinders " . Those loads matched or exceeded factory .32 Mag ( my guns , my chrono ) .

If .32 Mag ammo had simply achieved advertised velocities , it could have taken 1/3 of the .38 snub market . ( Just like pre WWll 1/3 of M&P ( later M10 ) were actually .32-20 .

( And the competing Colt Police Positive Special was also common in .32-20 , and .32NP . My Dad's first handgun , which l have , was PPS .32-20 .)

C.A. has several interesting revolvers , that l really , really want to like .

But every one l've ever test fondled felt like the action was full of cement dust .

My Charter Arms "Undercoverette" has a fairly smooth action. I look forward to what Nick Eckert has to offer in a .32 ACP revolver.
If his version of the revolver is sufficiently light, it could prove convenient.

To the first statement: Many people are that way. I refuse to sue unless there is a real need for financial redress.

I will stand up to evil. This is how morality survives, regardless of the consequences.

An American Patriot will always stand up to or at least should!
If one doesn't know how joint a 2A group that will fight for your right to own.
I belong to the IRSA who have lobbyists and lawyers who will fight for us, I for one will stand with them.
This is my home and I refuse to tuck my tail and run to another state that has been frequently suggested here.
