Ha! I'd never seen one up close so I was instantly enamored. I stood there and just stared at it until we left. Although I love semiautomatic (and fully auto!) rifles, I am thinking of buying a handgun or revolver for self-defense (I'm in TX). I think pink guns are cute and all but I don't want a cute weapon - I like tactical black and silver/black combo better. I don't hunt. If a woman has to utilize a firearm, 99% of the times will be to defend her life, so if I ever have to use it, it will be to drop someone, not because it looks cute in my tiny hands. It has to be the right fit for my small hands, and not impossible for me to shoot as I have arthritis but my fear is always that it may accidental discharge so I'm also trying to learn a little more before making a decision. I think I like revolvers, S&W has some nice ones, but very expensive. I like their model 460v revolver very much.
