Sorry, I did not mean to offend you. I was asked for some advice, and I gave it. The poster didn’t indicate that she was buying a firearm to shoot bowling pins.

The bowling pin match didn’t mean a thing. I was talking about recovery time,,,, if you don’t know what that involves than you best get acquainted with it. Multible adversaries require multiple shots,,,, and accurate ones. Trigger pull between a wheel gun vs. a semi auto are horses of a different color. Your pulling a hammer back as opposed to releasing a sear. Anything else????

Somewhere in my motivational posters file I have a photo of Ann Barnhardt’s pink and white AR-15 M4 carbine clone. She's challenging the Muslim Jihadis to come and get their 72 virgins one 5.56 round at a time.

The pistol, caliber .45, M1911 and M1911A1, was given by God to John Moses Browning on Mt. Sinai so that Man could dispatch the followers of Satan one 230 grain slug at a time. One hundred twelve years later it still keeps repopulating Hell with Satan’s deceased spawn.

The majority conceal the handgun in a cloth bag and keep it in their purse or coat pocket.

If a revolver fails to fire all one need do is pull the trigger again.

All your points are good ones. The only quibble I have is with this. Almost all the time what you stated is correct. There are exceptions, though. Some years ago I was firing a Taurus .357 magnum revolver and the cylinder actually locked up with the hammer pulled back. Try as I could, I couldn't fire it or unlock it. I had to drive to a locksmith (with the gun's barrel facing to the right to minimize the danger of it shaking loose and firing). He fixed it and said that it was a very unusual problem.

I still have that Taurus and treasure it. I shoot it exceptionally well.

The South is a gun culture. Southern women have always owned guns. I was shooting at age 12. I think they are just getting the CCL’s now.
