Bhobs Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 looking for something cheap that I can keep on the night stand for some protection when the hubby works. Something small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Several folks posted Lady Smiths and some random other small frame guns in another thread. Hopefully they will post up here. Since you are asking for one, I assume you do not currently own one. With that, have you shot before? If not.... smaller guns GENERALLY have more recoil / kick, and take be a bit of a handful. A 38 Special Revolver w/ a 4" Barrel would be a VERY good choice (if it fits your hand well) for what you are asking. My wife keeps our Ruger GP100 3" 357 Magnum (loaded w/ 38 Special) on her side. :thumbup: Also, if you are not familiar, I would look into taking a firearm safety course. The might be able to steer you into a direction as well. KillJoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhobs Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I did have a gun that I borrowed before but I never used one yet. I would like to go to the shooting range sometime to learn. Your wife sounds like a badass thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I like the Springfield XD line. They're an easy gun to use, and they can be small enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 It's also no where near close enough to a defensive caliber. It'll only serve to piss someone off, not stop them (short of getting a lucky headshot). 9mm is generally agreed upon as the lowest defensive caliber one should use; possibly .380 if it's a pocket gun. Any lower really doesn't have the power and penetration to take out a person quickly and efficiently. They make this in pink and 9mm (if that's your thing). http://calzaretta.com/scans/shot2008/mp9jg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 keeping a gun next to the bed is a bad idea, you need to keep it away so you have to get up to get it. there have been many cases where a loved one was killed because someone was woken up in the night to a noise and grabed there gun and shot. one here in ohio where a man came home late and went to bed, heard a noise and grabed his gun. saw a shadow in the hall and shot at it. he didn't know his 18 year old daughter was out with friends as her mother let her but didn't tell the dad, he though everyone was home. he is doing life in prision for her murder. on a happier note, find something that will fit in your hands well and get to know the gun at a range. you don't want your training and finial test to happen in 2 seconds if you ever need to use it. stay with a good brand weapon, Glock, S&W, Springfield, ect.
