My favorite part is the "Guaranteed to Fire Once". That's the only part of the gun that's legit.

Wow, it'll cause at least one injury or death to one person ! Though that's only if the owner uses the weapon with a live round, once, for the last time, never again after that .

A wheel gun, revolver, is a good first gun for some one who wants dead bang reliability. A medium frame, 4 inch .357 is a fight stopper given the standard engagement range of 21 feet. Leave the autos alone given your budget. Practice, practice, practice especially in smooth double action trigger cocking techniques. THE .45 IN 230 GRAIN HARDBALL IS NOT A STOPPER. Not enough shock nor a large enough wound channel. If you use a Colt variant use a semi wadcutter and make sure they feed. I also favor a customized Colt .380 when you have to carry in an urban situation without having a large lump of gun that can be "printed" under clothing. However, w/ a sub .357 caliber you must be able to reliably double tap to a CNS (Central Nervous System) head shot. This means two rounds in the head above a line at the base of the nose.
