John was returning fire at Paul 
 about Ladies gun? 
 JS> Regular:  Taurus 65/66 for budget .357, 689 for nicer .357.  Also
 Probably a Taurus if I can't find something in the used world.  Used
 marketplace is looking grim.
 JS> Small/backup (.380):  S&W sigma is about the cheapest i'd still
 [etc]
 I found a little .380 I'm going to use.  According to the seller it's
 in the realm of bargain -- $180.
 Am not _sure_ what's gonna happen, (I'm real wary of cheap guns) but
 will do some testing and report.
 Then again, if this last house will actually close I may be able to not
 concern myself with budget.
