Kool Aid,
What do u use this thing you posted earlier for,
I just chose one for carry.But... you did get me to thinkin.Not that my round will go thru a person and then thru a wall into someone else,but if someone is standing behind the bg.Did a search and found a pre fragmented round(filled w/ birdshot).A form of these are what the air marshalls use lessen the degree of another passenger getting seriously wounded.

This is my daily carry gun.
Very, very lightweight, no hammer, and obviously no safety. Can be fired from inside a jacket pocket, or pulled without snagging on anything.
I keep a 1911 next to the bed, but that thing is much too big to carry, and I know they make lightweight versions, but there are too many moving parts to deal with, as a carry gun.
I want a point and shoot, idiot proof, carry gun, and this one fits the bill.
Mag-safes are cool, especially around close quarters and children.
I use these Federal Hydra-Shoks as they mushroom out pretty large, and in .38 caliber won't travel very far through skin and bones. I started using these 10 years ago, and it's just habit, now.

No, it was used. Made in 1961. A former coworker of mine bought it for his mom after his dad passed away. Since she lives with him now he sold it. I actually paid $75 for the gun, then he said "Well what about $100 for the holster, spare mage, and the ammo that I have for it?" So I got the gun, holster, spare mag and 2 boxes of ammo for a hundred bucks. Plus the East German ones are supposed to be some of the best machined and made Mak's around.
nu-supercrew,
Add another one to the 'fixin to be pizzed' crowd. My jaws involuntarily started to clench and debunking statements were wizzing about in my head.
