Yeah, .380 is as far as it goes. It's like in break-tops, which I love, once you get to a certain level of pressure you've got to move on to a different type of action.

Not necessarily all that limiting... .357 Magnum:

However, it never entered production; it is unclear why this was, though it was likely due to its largest potential market, the United States, being closed because of an agreement between U.S. President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s, voluntarily banning the import of firearms from Russia to the United States.[1]

I had one of those ancient Smith and Wesson break-top revolvers in .38 S&W (gave it away).



In playing with it, I discovered that type of action could have quite a tactical advantage in reloading over swingout-cylinder revolvers or SAAs if the proper speedloaders were available.

Thank you, former President Clinton !  [barf]

But that .357 is wandering afield from suitable concealable "lady's guns."

But something like that in one of those hot .32 magnum cartridges... hmmmm....

Never entered production so we never got to find out how it worked and how it failed.

Still, if it was built for .357 it likely would hold up forever with .38 if it was a quality build.

Folks - she had never fired a gun before Saturday. Ever!
I determined that she is cross-eye dominant, just like I am.
Fly320s - I had no illusions that she couldn't handle a semi-auto. Things like her cross-eye dominance *invariably* comes up in training sessions, which is one reason why I like to take them very slowly. She had never fired a gun before. Ever.
It's about finding the optimal hand gun for her. I thought she would enjoy the revolver just for it's ease of operation, Glad I had several options for her to explore.
I was wrong. She likes the 1911. I cannot blame her, that's my favorite platform as well. Just didn't expect it, that's all.

Oh, but what fun is that if we don't?
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Folks, would you mind too terribly if she joined our little group? Would love to have her around here.
..................

I don't understand.  Why can't she just log in and boom! she's a member, no?  She doesn't need our permission.

I still don't understand why she can't just log in as a new member without going through any "permission process."

What am I missing here?

Actually all new members have to be manually approved by a mod after they register. We started this some months ago to try and keep out the 50-100 spambots per day that sign up as members.

Whatever. Been a long time since I signed up to APS.
Toni/Antoinette Martinez may perhaps request access. I am vetting her as a friend of mine, she's real.
If she joins.

Might actually be next week that she signs up. She's up in Colorado, attending her son's wedding.
