That's a first. I have heard of people, including myself, putting the slide on without the barrel. Can you not squeeze the trigger and then take the slide off the frame?

I am a huge Andy Griffith Show fan and I have never seen anything other than a Colt in Barney's holster, hand, or small of the back.

Actually, the LCR should fire 32acp reliably enough for target practice. The 32acp will be slightly hotter than 32s&w long. Sometimes you can find European 32acp ammo for $15/50. http://www.sgammo.com/product/32-auto-acp-ammo/1000-round-case-32-auto-73-grain-fmj-ammo-made-geco-hungary

I won't argue that the p32 is the best Keltec, but I think any p11 could just about give the same reliable service. I don't know that I have ever heard a complaint about a sub2000 either though.

The pf9 was not a good pistol. I have had several p32's and loved every one of them. I don't know if I could justify spending more on a p32 than I could buy a LCP for, and LCP's are cheap now.

Yeah, that is a 5" M&P.

Just to help give you a ballpark figure, I paid $2500 for a metal roof on a home 1200sqft.

I as well say Northern Water snake. Actually, copperheads love water. Of the dozen or so I have seen in my life all but maybe two were in or near the water.

The average gun shop only makes about $25 on each handgun so they normally are happy to take transfers.

The issue with Doubletap and certain ammo has to do with the primers being pierced by the firing pins. This leaves you unable to open the thing, but most of the time a couple of dry fires will release the firing pins. If not, I can easily pop the barrel off by pushing the takedown pin. I just had to find what ammo it likes and stick with them. I shoot mostly 124 gr HST +p in it. It's had probably a whole box of those without a single issue. It's not that the recoil is totally fierce; the shape just doesn't make it comfortable to shoot because it is the thickness of a dime. I do have a 45 Win mag derringer and full power loads exceed 44mag. It's just a different kind of recoil than the Doubletap. I have always had a soft place in my heart for derringers of different types. My father always toted one of some sort.

My 9mm Doubletap has always went bang two times. It has some stout recoil and some cases like Hornady can be hard to eject.

You better hope! I have only experienced maybe two revolver malfunctions. I had an ejector rod come unscrewed enough to cause it not to close. I have also experienced some crimp jump that caused the cylinder to bind. Both of these were easily fixed though.

I just skimmed through the responses. One, the first frost will kill the crabgrass; it is an annual. The Bermuda will continue to take over and once it gets thick enough I recommend Roundup at a slightly diluted rate over the fescue in the middle of winter about Janury 10th. PM me and I will give you my phone number. It will be so much easier to talk.

I have always wanted a Night Guard.

That notice is greatly appreciated.

I don't think they are all that bad out of a derringer. Let me know if you want to try my 45 win mag American Derringer.

Something I forgot to add; the Pitbull is built on the larger Bulldog frame. In fact, it was originally a 6 shot 9mm but was redesigned to be a five shot to make it more reliable. It is not as large as a k frame Smith, but it isn't a j frame or a LCR size gun either. I don't know who makes a good ankle holster for it.

I have several, but this one is my favorite. Pre lock model 60

I am right handed and I have worn on the inside of my left ankle. Unless you are riding a motorcycle occasionally that is the way I recommend, but you would still use the right handed holster. I have also worn a left handed ankle holster, but much prefer the rh holster. I find a 30oz gun just too heavy. Something around 20oz is about the max. I did my 25oz loaded 640 for a day and thought it was possible, but not easy. All of this was with Galco ankle holsters. I understand your logic with the 9mm and loading out of a magazine. I have heard the 9mm pit bull is not perfect and the two one of my gun shops have sold have went back to the manufacturer. Apparently, not extracting a case is what many experience. I think the ejectors are weak which leaves the extractor slipping over the rim and leaving a stuck case. They may have improved the design over the last year or two. Unless you are law enforcement I think you have an almost un-calculatable chance of needing a backup, and needing to reload it from your primary.

I have owned two Sig 239's. It's a great gun and a great shooter. The downfall is the low capacity compared to guns similar in size. Know that many holsters that fit a Sig 239 in 9mm will not fit a 40 or 357. The slide is machined differently.

It can't be any worse than that crap my newer Glocks have on them.

I was told about this through a friend that buys ammo for his department. It is hard to beat 180 HST.. https://massammo.com/federal-40-s-w-180gr.html

Correct, the 49 was the steel bodyguard.

Most revolvers will recoil more than a similarly size and weight semi auto in a comparable caliber. I have found only a few women that are ok with the snap of the 2" j frames. I have owned, or still do, just about every S&W revolver configuration. The all steel 36, 60, 640, 39, or similar are probably the best compromise for carry and shoot ability. Someone mentioned the 940 9mm and it is a heavy recoiling revolver and was discontinued partially because of malfunctions. They are also very pricey. The 32 family of S&W j frames can be pricey unless you find an older S&W 30 or 31, but then you give up a lot of energy. A rimfire revolver is a great option, but by nature they have a very stiff trigger.
