Yup, as the ol' story goes . . . two guys were being chased by a bear and one says to the other, "I don't have to outrun the bear.  I just have to outrun you""

My wife's personal handgun is a Smith & Wesson model 686 357 magnum. She is also a better shot than I am. I would rather face an alligator. I try not to piss her off.

They are great little pocket pistols. I carry mine when I don't feel like strapping on my 9MM.


Please tell me about this gun, I have a 380 without a safety on it..it's a backup, I need a small one for the lake...just in case.  Pam     ☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི
Hey Pam, I'm no gun expert but the Beretta 25 cal. is a small concealed gun . It is single action. The gun is designed to eject the spent casings by way of percussion. It is very small so dumb people tend to get injured from the slide coming back and cutting them. I think Taurus makes them now, I've had mine since 1993 and mine has a safety. I have only killed paper targets with mine :)

RAD..good idea..nope..it's for the people that travel along US 30 that just happen to stop right beside the campground because there are people there. My camper is closest to the road. Hubby doesn't camp anymore so it's me and my bestie next door that might need protecting. I like to be ready. I'm thinking bigger tho. I have to handle it to see if it fits..I have small hands. Got my eye on a PPK too. My lil .380 will do for now. Probably shouldn't downsize. ☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི
