I have one of these and the reason I bought mine was because it has the dual action firing of the first round. You merely pull the trigger and it acts like a revolver. Of course it has to be chambered first but it doesn’t have the hair trigger action of a single action firing model.

Having said that, I think probably a revolver is still the best home weapon and if one wants an extremely accurate weapon the Ruger bull barrel .22 is fantastic and of course the ammo is cheap and you can fit these easily with a laser sight. The .380 ammo is expensive and hard to find. The thing that caught my eye was its small size. I believe I paid about $270 at a local gun store with two clips. And I got a box or two of ammo at the time.

It’s worth the money but not necessarily what you need. You’ll have to determine what you are going to use it for. It definitely is not for plunking tin cans on a fence rail unless you have deep pockets.

As to the 9mm guns. I once owned a 92FS Beretta and couldn’t hit the side of a barn. I wound up selling it back to the dealer. If you really, really want to stop the bad guys I can’t imagine anything more you would need than a .357 magnum. That would probably bring down an elephant. It all depends on what you need.

Of all the guns I have owned, and they have been relatively few, that Ruger .22 is by far the best I have owned. I’m a relatively lousy shot but that bugger is darned accurate and the ammo is a darned sight easier to load in the clips as well. My $0.02.
