Glock 33, Subcompact .357

You sir don't NEED to own a gun if that is your purpose for having one. Sorry to be harsh, but that's the truth.

I'm not at all talking about going kamakazee on them, I was just saying that if they got braver, something might have to be done. Just a self defense thing, better to have it than not if something like that happens. She wants me to get her a small .32 and take her to the range so she knows how to handle it.

Look, as I said before, I'm not messing up this man's thread to argue the merits of my post. If you want to know why I said what I said, let's start our own thread and I'd be more than happy to tell you exactly why I said what I said.

Like what happens? You said they're merely razzing your girl when she walks the dog. Don't walk the dog past them, problem solved. What's the need for a gun to resolve that?

She wants me to get her a small .32 and take her to the range so she knows how to handle it.

Do some research before you buy a gun that's as useless as tits on a hog. If she can't handle the gun, she shouldn't have one. Read up on stopping power and you will see that a .32 cal is right on up there with the .22 as far as stopping power is concerned (although more people have been killed by .22's). Don't waste your time. A .38, .380, or a 9mm is way more effective and has no more felt recoil than a .32. They are also not as ammo sensitive and you have more ammo to choose from. So any way you look at it, it's not an efficient self-defense caliber.

Don't take my word for it. Do some research. You'll see for yourself.

Again, we're polluting the man's thread.

Free bump for your troubles.
