I have a particular device for sale that is often used for self defense and hitting targets at very high velocities.

Please see the attached link for information.

Taurus International Manufacturing Inc

I'm not keeping it because I have another such device and don't need more than one. A friend purchased it a few years ago for his wife and she used it twice hitting targets at the range. Then it went into a bedside locker and never came out until he traded it to me for another item. It's had at most, 50 rounds of target striking devices put through it so it's practically brand new. It's a perfect concealment device because of it's size and weight AND it's guaranteed to work when needed unlike some of the same devices that are automatic.

$325
 
I'm going back and fourth on whether to keep it. It's size and weight make it perfect for hikes into the vast, unprotected areas of West Texas. My other device is a bit large and heavy for backpacking.
 
Yep...Yours is very dependable and having made out of SS. makes it better to handle the outdoors.
This is the one I carried on hikes, back in the Carolinas.

I picked this, due to it's small slim size and dependability.

I also inherited a similar one that you have, but the color is blue.
 
Keep it Brett, you can never have too many gubs!
if it was hammerless i would seriously consider it....too bad.
 
I do like the hammerless but of course then you can only use it in D.O. mode. With the hammer I can go to S.A. mode from time to time.

I may keep it but I could use the cash towards something on my truck. If no one is interested, I'll just use it for backpacking and camping.

The hammer is nice but not for a pistol like the ones you are looking at. What you have to understand is that lightweight revolvers like that are meant to be carried/stored a lot, but hardly shot. Not because you can't but because you wont want to, the lw's kick like mules and you'll say enough after a couple wheels.

Coming to the hammer, which are only used for precise shooting ie target or hunting. You will not be doing that with a lightweight revolver in anything over .22 or the likes. Next is if your going to use it as a carry piece that hammer is just a big hook to snag on anything in its way.

Shoot one once and thats enough, they are not enjoyable target pieces...carry gun = excellent!

wow taht was long../rant
 
Ouch, I have little girl hands!

You have the hands of a little girl.

I have a long, extensive history with handguns or all types. I've owned more than I can recall. I sold most of my guns in 2000 for various reasons. I've trained under some of the best handgun instructors in the state (Karl Rehn and Dr. Penny Riggs) in basic, advanced and tactical handgun combat courses. My concealed handgun license was one of the first 100 issued in the state of Texas and I spoke before the state legislature concerning Texas citizens right to carry firearms in the early '90's. The point: I understand these devices and how they work.

I know all the gives and takes of light vs heavy framed guns. This particular piece is not at all difficult to use target shooting and ANY gun you carry, you need to be extremely comfortable with. This includes firing it at the range, often. You do not want to carry something you rarely shoot. A .38 is not a difficult range gun, even loaded with +P ammo if you're using the correct stance and grip.

Now I challenge you to a wet towel popping contest. :clap:

When the hell we going to shoot man?:idea:

Kelly is that an ww2 era gun, kinda looks like single action only?
 
Oh, and just get whatever you are most comfortable with to shoot and carry.

Tell us about your choice?

Me? It is not a choice, just my favorite that I have had. The grip fits in my hand perfectly. It is also very accurate.

I have never even seen the other one, I just guessed it would be the same. Except the accurate part since it is so short. I like the way it looks.

Odd, but the gun show really put me off. Right now another ridgie and a shotgub under the bed seems best.:meh:
 
What traumatized you at the gun show?
 
You could have helped the guy by further subdueing her with pepper spray...what a friend!
