Indian gun laws are very strict, with almost no importation of arms or ammunition. The local varieties have suffered for lack of competition.

Guns are heavily regulated; only the well off can afford the time and expense to brave the regulations (and likely bribes) necessary to obtain and use arms.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, I suppose. I wouldn’t want to get shot with a .22 LR, but I wouldn’t want to try to stop an attack with one either.

Do they make one to chamber .22 mag?

I once bought a box of Indian military .303 surplus. 2 out of 20 fired. Has firearms/ammo quality improved there?

I would be very surprised if this .22 revolver worked. The quality of Indian arms varies significantly. Their new combat rifle, the INSAS 5.56 NATO has had MAJOR quality issues. It's so bad, troops were issued AKMs.

Rs 35,000 equals $514. Kinda pricey, especially for a third world country.

That’s OK, my S&W 342PD pre-lock weighs 10.8 oz. Not bad for a .38+P 5-shot. Recoil with full house rounds is a bitch though.

My Mail scale just confirmed to me that which I already knew. Namely, my Ruger LCP 380 weighs in at 8 1/2 ounces empty (no mag or bullets) and 11 1/2 with a full mag.

It might be that a Freeper doesn’t know the difference so I will point out that a 38 caliber bullet is infinitely more powerful ballistically than a regular .22 round.

The gun rides comfortably and inconspicuously in a blue jean pocket.

Cost: $231.00 plus tax
