My DIL just got one and loves it. She isn't that girly, but KAHR and Taurus both make a pink model. Kahr makes a 9mm smaller than the ppk and many other 380's And is certainly made for the (much) smaller hand. It hurts like hell to shoot, if it fits in your hand like a derringer. You should try one out. It might surprise you. I have and they catch me right in the meat of the thumb. Hurts like hell. Ditto the Glock subcompacts; 26, 27, 29, 30, etc. . You ought to try a little.25 auto. They're definitely meat slicers Especially my wife's Bauer http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/9/...g/400px-Nickel... That's a cute little bugger! My North Carolina brother bought a .25 for his wife. I can't remember the make, but it's not a common name. Ammunition for it can be found on the web. Salmonbait -- "That's not a baby kicking, dear Bride, it's just a fetus!" *[Attributed to Harry Krause] Yes, it can. But because it's center fire and rare, it's even higher yet. But I've got a couple hundred rounds, so we're good with that. |

Indeed, i do spend a couple of hours a week handling, practicing and cleaning empty firearms. You happened to call when I was doing this. I'm not obsessive like Herring, though. I don't, for example, drive early in the morning to places that sell ammo to see if i can buy some. After seeing this confession, the only conclusion one can come to is that you are an obsessive compulsive crazed gun nut. |

A 40-60 BF uses the 75-90 foot. Got it, but why? Is it for more severe service, etc? I've seen a claim that it will get your boat up on plane quicker, although you'll probably sacrifice a couple miles an hour on the top end. I liked the heavier duty lower end...just in case I ever hit anything. |

Why did you get the Big Foot? They are for trolling larger boats, sailboats, and pontoons, right? Are your seats really black? Both dealer and manufacturer recommended the 60 Big Foot. They claim it's the most popular outboard for my boat. I've read other articles that also recommend this motor for wide stern boats... and mine does look wide for a 16.5 footer. Kicks up quite a wake at low speeds. I suppose it provides low end power to get a water skiier up and going Maybe that's a trade-off for a smaller OB so far off of the 90HP rating. |

The low end torque is nothing to ignore. If you are not interested in the absolute top end, keeping the low end is worth the extra few hundred for the big foot. You also shave 100 pounds off the motor going for the 40-60 (or 70 in the Yamaha) vs the 75-90. In a small boat that is significant. Higher torque is important for a boat like yours but with a loss of speed and fuel economy Donnie's boat will suffer some. |

My PPK/S is stamped ".9mm - 380 ACP" They are not interchangeable like a .38/.357 Mag.

They chamber in the .357 revolver just a little more snug than the .38 Specials and the .357 rounds do. When looking for information, I find some who say they cannot be interchanged with the .38 Special, and some who say they can - if fired in a gun designed for .38 Special - not vice-versa.

You'll have to tell me, PsychoSnotty, since my annual consumption of alcoholic beverages amounts to a six pack of beer and a couple of margaritas. I still have two bottles of beer left from last summer...probably use them as a cooking brine for hotdogs. Apparently your sessions with the psychotherapist are not going well. Perhaps you need a mental health counselor who is less...Freudian. Is that facility down in Middletown still open? |

You're as obsessed with guns as you were were golf, your truck and your camping trailer, and none of them have anything to do with boats. I read through some posts from the days I was out of town and I noticed you were trying to give Donnie crap about his towing vehicle, and you made some snarky remark about the new Toyota he was considering. Well, Herring, not everyone needs a huge truck to haul around a boat as little as yours. I towed an 18.5' boat quite a bit heavier than yours with a Ford "Splash" Truck. And what else do you tow? On rare occasions, a huge camper trailer. But the truck burns so much fuel that you have to motorcycle to the Wal-Mart. D'oh. And where do you go with that huge trailer? To the Pax rec site? To a spot a few miles down the Potomac from where you live? You ought to be shopping for a nice, used .44 Automag, so that when you have your serious gun accident, it'll be a doozy. |

Well, Herring, not everyone needs a huge truck to haul around a boat as little as yours. I towed an 18.5' boat quite a bit heavier than yours with a Ford "Splash" Truck. And what else do you tow? On rare occasions, a huge camper trailer. But the truck burns so much fuel that you have to motorcycle to the Wal-Mart. D'oh. And where do you go with that huge trailer? To the Pax rec site? To a spot a few miles down the Potomac from where you live? You ought to be shopping for a nice, used .44 Automag, so that when you have your serious gun accident, it'll be a doozy. We should ask John to repost the photos he took while camping in the Grand Canyon and elsewhere. Maybe it would jog your memory. |

wrote in message ... Speaking of interchangeability - I came across a box of .38 S&W rounds, which appear almost identical to the .380 round. They chamber in the .357 revolver just a little more snug than the .38 Specials and the .357 rounds do. When looking for information, I find some who say they cannot be interchanged with the .38 Special, and some who say they can - if fired in a gun designed for .38 Special - not vice-versa. The 38 S&W is slightly larger than the .38 spec and they usually will not chamber. The loading is a lot lower pressure so if you did get one in the gun it would be safe to fire but extraction could be hard to do. The real problem is going the other way. Usually the .38 S&W chamber is shorter so you can't get a .38 special in there and revolve the cylinder but if you can, you have a very good chance of splitting the case when it fires and the pressures in a .38 special are higher than most of those old .38 S&W guns were designed for. All of that said. I knew a guy with a .38 S&W who shot regular .38s out of it and he still had all of his fingers. The cartridge cases were trashed tho. They all had a fire formed shoulder on them about 1/4" above the rim and sometimes the case mouth split.. ---------------------------------------- I have a S&W 337 .38 "Chief's Special" with the shorter barrel (2") and titanium cylinder. The barrel is stamped, " .38 S&W SPL. +P Jacketed" on one side. I understand that the reason for using jacketed +P ammo only is because non-jacketed rounds in the adjacent cylinders can actually have "lead creep", meaning the recoil is sufficient to move the lead forward at the crimp. If this happens, the cylinder could jam. But what is not clear to me .... and so far I haven't found any info .... is if the requirement to use jacketed ammo applies only to the +P type. My understanding is the +P is a "hotter" round ... with more recoil. So, I am not clear if using regular 38 Special ammo that is not jacketed is ok. Not that it really matters because it's not exactly a "range" gun. But, I'd like to bring it once in a while just to get some more experience with it and the indoor range at the club I belong to only allows unjacketed ammo. At the outdoor ranges, we can use anything. I'll fire off an email to S&W and see what they say. |

The manual for the M&P9 refers to the use of +P and +P+, saying the first may result in the need for more frequent service and the second could be DANGEROUS.
