This moron hasn't even been around guns long enough to know you're supposed to say "I was cleaning my gun, and it went off". Idiot reporters usually swallow that one.

If this idiot had bought a .38 revolver instead of an auto, I'll be this would not have happened. Simple guns for simple minds, I say. Me included.)

Hey I like a .38 revolver as something to slip into my jacket pocket in the winter. We are talking about the original point and click interface here. For my more serious carry piece I am now carrying an EAA Witness .45acp ported electroless nickle finish ten shots and an all arround exellent pocket pistol that hits dead on at 25 yards and as SA/DA (no decocking lever but a 1911 style safety. Cocked and locked is fine as is hammer down on a loaded chamber with smooth easy safety removal for a DA first shot. I went with this because of it superb trigger pull out of the box and it is inexpensive and very very high quality.

Yes I still like my .357 revolvers and other toys but that Witness is so easy to just slip into a pants pocket it is ideal. It is so good I put my Kimber back in the safe.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

I had the same thought.

I picked up a Taurus ultralight 85 38sp with the concealed hammer at the last gun show.

I was getting increasingly uncomfortable toting my Glock 23 in the NC heat and humidity. For the summer, the 38sp with +p ammo, rides very easily in my Dockers pocket. I keep it in a Wild Bill horsehide pocket holster. Nothing else goes in that pocket, eliminating the problems with keys, etc.

When things cool off enough to start wearing the Glock again, I'll probably keep the 38 in my pocket as a NY reload. At 13.7 ounces, it's hardly noticeable.

I have no problem going between the Glock and the Taurus, since they operate the same way. Pull it, point it, pull the trigger.
