Thread: Defending Yourself

Regardless of the size and hardness of the grip, a 38 special +P is weak. My 2 and 1/2 inch .454 would probably break your hand, or my friends 4 inch S&W 500. Also 40's can hold as many rounds as you can find a clip for. My friend keeps a 15 round clip in his 40 at all times, it extends a little, but big deal. Like Oneironaut said, lots of sports are full of pain and injury, but most athletes enojy what they do despite the risks. Its in their genetics to be able to withstand pain and injury. Fighters are not only be born with the ability to take damage, they have to train ridiculously hard. So fighters deserve recognition and admiration, which is exactly what they get as being professionals. I agree too many people may be hoping to see someone get permenately injured, but that doesn't mean there isn't tons of fans who just enjoy watching the talent and skills of the best fighters on the planet. I'm just saying you shouldn't make a generalization when they are many different view points amongst all the MMA or Boxing fans. Its like saying all racing fans are idiots because they are all just waiting for someone to crash.

I saw a guy on TV shoot one (the 500); that was pretty cool but it did look painful. The local gun shop's got one, so I looked at it. I don't think I'd need that unless I was in danger from grizzly bears; otherwise that's just over-kill, don't you think? What do you mean, the +P is weak? I think it is a fine belly-gun, anybody I shot with that I would be touching. Actually I guess they would be touching me. Any farther than that, forget about it

Actually I was thinking of a .45. (In the April 07 issue of Guns & Ammo there is an intersting comparison of the 1911 .45 vs. the Beretta M9; with the Beretta being the winner in the author's opinion.)

Yea, so? Isn't that true? ACtually, I pretty much think that no matter what they are watching it for. (Run away!!!!!&#33
