No bother,I will not feel threaten again end of story.Whatever it takes.
.38 special revolver. Easy to clean, easy to shoot and does not require a stiff wrist and elbow to cycle (unlike a semi-auto). Bottomline on barrel length: length doesn’t matteR in a defensive situation because of short distances. A longer barrel may be more fun at the because it will be more accurate at longer distances.
Most important is how well it fits your hand when you shoot.
Google “Wax bullets”
These are used to teach shooters how to draw and shoot in one motion without shooting yourself or someone else.
They are easily made in the microwave but cannot really be used in a semi auto.
Should be “more fun at the range”.
My husband bought me a Ruger LCP for Valentines Day. He had a couple of larger weapons that he let me practice with before we went together for our CC class.
All of them were fine, but because the Ruger is so light I carry it all the time in a purse with built in holster. My husband had a Glock that he carried in a belt holster, but he always had to be hitching up his pants, so he got an LCP too.
I like the idea of a laser sight. I now have macular degeneration in my right eye which was the one I was using to sight with in CC class. My husband and son love to shop for me for anything gun related, so I will drop some Christmas hints for the laser.
You can also make bullets with hot glue gun glue sticks and shoot primer only loads in the garage.
The older rounds are endlessly entertaining.
