Reason to avoid small calibre handguns - addicted2fishin - 05-17-2006
I found this story quite funny after the discussion in the 'for sale' board with Tubedude buying a handgun. We brought up the point that you wanted to avoid the smaller guns (9mm) and go with something bigger like the .40 or .45. There were also some discussions about the 357.
Anyway, this is about the .38, which I think is somewhere between the .22 and 9mm.

I have even heard of .38 rounds ricocheting off of peoples foreheads! That is only good if it is your forehead not if you are the shooter.
I used to have a .38 snub nose revolver that I carried as a back-up gun. got rid of it because I used to have dreams about slugs bouncing off of some perps forehead.
If you mean business you do not want to carry caliber handgun that doesn't start with a "4".
