Which rifle do you want to associate with the memory and the trophy? Which rifle do you want to pass down to your grandkid with a great story?

Well that was a nightmare …… Met seller at range and we immediately went to firing line. Loaded a magazine with some 380 ACP he brought, inserted magazine and while pointed down range, all fingers wrapped around handle, nothing by the trigger, racked slide to chamber a round …… BOOM …… 'What the F++...

these seem well designed and finished...... https://chaszel.com/product/20-gauge-to-357-chamber-reducer/ +1. I recently bought one made by Chaszel from ebay* in 16ga/22LR for my German Drilling.

I own a few new polymer/striker designs but they don't charm me like the others. Likewise I own two AR-15s but I find greater depth and enjoyment in my older rifles. Reloading for the 5.56mm is a chore but reloading for the 30 WCF is a hobby. Doing something more efficiently is not always the same a...

I don't have those problems with my Ruger Single Six .22 .... :D The Kel Tec price point for their plinker and woods running companion is less then $200. Other choices in that price range include the Ruger Wrangler, Heritage SA, Phoenix Arms rimfire auto and maybe one or two other offerings that I ...

I hope they were well insured and will rise again. Its a loss for our community of shooters but I am more concerned about the community and the families that relied on Pac Nor economically.

Get both of them, then decide which you like better.

P.S. You might also consider going the used route and finding a USFA

Reminds me a little of a Liberator pistol. Or a zip gun. Actually I think they missed the mark on this one …… Priced at $70 or less and chambered in something like 22lr/short it might be appealing to people running trap lines. I bet there are at least a dozen of those guys who would be interested. Wm

I suppose it would make sense but on the other hand the only time I can realistically see using it would be in the middle of the night if I heard a prowler on the first floor.

I actually have taken the 'get home' scenario somewhat seriously …… at least by comparison to many of the other prepper scenarios.

Interesting …… but I'm on the fence about pistol caliber carbines in 9mm. IMO 357 mag and 44 mag seem to make good use of the extra barrel length while the 9mm not so much.

You know those chambers inserts that let you use other cartridges in your single shot, break open shotguns. I would like to find a 20 to 410 but also a 20 to 38spl/357 mag.

As a city living guy my needs and experiences are different but in the role you describe I think I would also favor a Bearcat or Wrangler (but I confess to being impressed with the LCR family of revolvers).
