Saturday Night Special liberals crowed about back in the day. Liberals are emotionally stupid. These guns were barely functional when new. Almost useless. You’d think they’d want to mandate them, not ban them. Same as bump stocks which cause wild erratic shots from a rifle. Libs never think things through.
The "Saturday Night Special" was typically a .25 acp. Less power than a .22, and they were cheap guns that jammed a lot. Saw many stories about someone being assaulted, and "the gun jammed."
My guess is the .25 acp saved a lot of lives by misfiring.
A guy came into the shop looking for a holster for his new gun. It was a cheap Cobra .380 that got for the “bargain” price of $200. I didn’t tell him he paid about $125 too much.
