I took my niece to Germany....after she gets her concealed carry permit, I'm paying for a pistol.

They do put out a nice flame - especially when it is getting dark outside.

I was shooting my Mom's one year at Thanksgiving with some GI's from Ft. Huachuca. Then I pulled out a box of factory 158 gr. loads and let them shoot that stuff. I thought they were going to jizz in their pants. Up to that point, all any of them had ever shot was an M4 and an Beretta M9.

It's a fun gun, but that lightweight one might be worth investing in a pair of gloves to shoot.... Mom's is all steel.

I figure the lightweight guns are for shooting a handful of practice shots, but any volume of shooting ought to be done in a steel frame gun.

Carjack prevention kit.

You’re a good father 500, teaching your kids the right values and preparing them for the harsh realities of the world.

Will you be removing the “safety lock” on the frame, to ensure that it doesn’t lock up at the wrong moment? I understand that doing so is a simple procedure.

That is a nice looking handgun. The barrel looks smaller than 2 inch.

Yes. I had a Colt Cobra snub nose which was made from aluminum. It was a wrist breaker if I fired many hot rounds.

Scandium frames are an alloy of Aluminum and Scandium. Scandium is lighter than aluminum. The frame will be stronger than Aluminum but slightly lighter. I wouldn't be firing many .357 or .38 +P with it.

With that short barrel, you won't get much benefit from a .357 or +P anyway, other than a bigger fireball.

.357 does loose much of its punch from a small barrel very disappointing for sure.

The Speer Gold Dot 125 and 158 penetrate very well from a .357 with 2 inch barrel.
