Earnest was returning fire at Paul 
 about Ladies gun? 
 EP> I agree with the selection of .45 caliber; but first on the
 EP> list is the .45 Colt. The .45 ACP is second, on my list. Either
 If I were leaning toward a wheelgun in .45-ish I'd prolly go toward a
 .44 mag, long bbl.  But that would be a hunting gun, in my house, with
 a .44Spl load for any secondary defensive use it might play.
 EP> is probably more than adequate, but having both is a good

 Uh, since when do you need an excuse? 
 EP> Often a problem with women, which is one reason to have the

 You've increased the number of actions a person is going to have to
 perform with the SAA -- she's adept with the old Smith DA revolver on
 the headboard -- point and click, as it were.  As she is able with the
 self-loaders lying around.  This new one is going to need to be for
 mainly discrete and concealed, and thus we're looking for something
 smaller.
 PN> CO> :-)  It's no secret that I've always favored revolvers and one of

 PN> PN> A new compact _and_ a new Chief's Special, or whatever, ain't in the

 EP> Check out the Rossi short barreled .38. Cloyce's suggestion
 I'd heard, and this is in the way of "everybody knows" but it seems
 prevelent, that the Rossi is less desirable than f'rinstance the
 Taurus.  I dunno.
 I _may_ have found a Charter Bulldog in .38Spl.  This is a definate
 maybe, if the results are what we're expecting at the projected cost:
 <$200.  But it's rough, and the smith is headed out for a trip, and
 we're gonna keep on looking.
 EP> about older revolvers is a good idea as well; especially since
 EP> it necessitates a lot of time spent wandering through
 EP> gunshows. Ernie P.
