Don't ferget about the 32 S&W long. Or H&R's .32 magnum.
Have one of the Smith's-a model 31. A fine little pistole-a great starter gun for a female. And it's probably the most accurate pistol I own right now. Factory ammo is rather weak, but the hollowpoint loads I'm running are hovering right around 1000fps.
Small and fast...
What sort of ammo are you shooting in that Beretta?
Very little. ;)
I am putting standard .22 LR (remmington, I think) in it. That pistol is mostly a conversation piece - I carry a Bersa .380 with +P Glasers normally; with a 1911 .45 clone as backup in the truck.
I'm a smaller fella and have trouble concealing a full sized pistol.
