Sounds like a Desert Eagle!

my XDS in .45. I cant hear for an hour after using it. its a great "holy sh**" pocket gun for the carjacking defense but it wont stop a bear until he is already eating me.


I want something else. I really want a 29 in 6" so I can go 'do you feel lucky punk', but I miss my glocks. mebbe one in .40

Looking for a "pocket sized gun", look at a Glock 42. 380 caliber, less recoil which is important for a small light weight gun.

Good electronic hearing protecting ear muffs are easy to find at any sporting goods or gun store and are not expensive. Or mail order them.

"Hunh?"

I have owned 2 or 3 different Taurus semiautos in various calibers. Every one of them had an issue of one kind or another and just felt and looked cheap. I have shot one of their 357 Magnum revolvers and it's a completely different story.

I'm not a gun guy but my friend is. A few years back I was over at his house and he showed me his Desert Eagle. Wow! What an impressive piece! He ended up selling it for a profit and his rationale was if a perp broke into his house and he fired that gun, the bullet won't stop until it pierces 3 or 4 homes LOL.


He downsized a bit. Hell of a gun tho!

Their revolvers are indeed superior to their semi auto offerings. However, their revolvers are copies of various S&W revolvers. Shoot the Tuarus’ offerings alongside the original S&W offerings, and I agree - it’s a completely different story.

Keltec PF9, Grendel 22LR. Both went down the road pretty quickly. The Keltec to a retired Sheriff that is a friend, another buddy just had to have the Grendel, was still trying to tweak the magazines the last time I saw him. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
