I like guns. I like lots of guns. I like guns that go bang every time.
I try not to be a snob, but more practical. I have been known to look down my nose at people who want the smallest thing possible, because it is comfy...
Handguns aren't suppossed to be comfortable they are suppossed to be comforting. Cocktailer is true in the better a small gun than no gun at all... but there are many quality 38/357/9/40/45 pistols that darn near reach the .380 envelope..... it just takes some commitment....You gotta want it. It goes to WHY you are carrying.
I am working on my social skills though. A friend of mine asked me if he knew where he could by a little polymer .380 for his wife... I asked how much he loved her... because if she is trying to shoot someone (who was going to do death/serious physical injury to her or his kids) would he prefer she did it with a comfy little gun? or one that was more effective? I get it - She isnt going to stuff a S&W M29/1911/Sig220/Glock21 in an IWB... but... there is room for a little more effort than a poly .380. You just gotta want it (and not be so darn lazy!)
