I've shot 40 & 45. Not bad, just not very easy to get ammo & expensive if you do find it.

I would much rather have a 40 or 45, but agree, ammo is too damn expensive.

What's fun is putting all 44specials except for the last shot. You here pop, pop, pop, pop, BOOOOOOM! (Mine's a 5 shot). People think your gun exploded.

Leenetworx. Your pic is full of win! I see a future dark alley thread in the making

Wouldn't work for me, the automatic cocking mechanism on the matebas likes the heaviest rounds you can find.

I'm sorry to have disappointed you Lee. You'll just have to start a dark alley thread to amuse yourself with

I want to get a .45 next the 30 model the subcompact tiny only 6 shots but with .45 you only need two; one in the head one in the chest.

I can't get used to a Glock trigger for some reason so I doubt I'll be buying one of those any time soon. I shoot hubby's but just don't like the trigger. To each their own though.

AMT has some Semi-automatics that shoot 44mags and I think a couple rifle rounds (like a 30-30 I think).

But my buddy has a 45-70 govt revolver (far left). Middle is 22mag and far right is 454 Raging Bull

You don't mean the FN Five-seveN, do you?

Thats it. I'd love to have one.


Why can't guns be cheap and ammo expensive? So many weapons to choose from.

Her intent is to conceal and carry with her, plus take in a car and home defense for when I'm away (basically all around). I'd prefer she got one with more knock down power (like a 40 or 45) but if she isn't comfortable shooting one then there is no point to her having it.

I'm really open to whatever pistol she likes. I just don't think she wants to spend more than $600 which because I'm a gun snob is tough for me. I'd rather spend $1000 and get the best.

Nice.

Good to hear you are open to her getting whatever she is comfortable with. I hear so many men in stores say "you should buy this or this" and not let the women have a chance to speak up. Then they hate it.

Who's to say you have to spend $1000 to get the best? We all know "the best" is very subjective.

I'm confused. My Bersa was cheap and the ammo is expensive, which sucks.
