I think it's actually a 1943 model. That's if the marsupial is finally sure of himself.

Looks great, .22's are good little target fun guns. Plus if you want to eat a squirrel it can get you one.

That model was produced between 1936 -1971.

Purchased in 1965, according to FIL.

That .308 looks sweet, huh? I may have to buy one.

.380 too light for you? Try it in 9mm? http://www.ruger.com/products/lc9/models.html

No laser on that one though.

The LCP w/ loaded w/ Hydra Shok is a very good choice for concealed carry. However, as a warning, it kicks like a .45, because of it's small frame.

Also, it has no safety, which freaks some people out.

Kimber crimson trace if you want a laser.

The LCP has a crimson trace on it.

I hadn't thought of the kick. Maybe not the right gun for the small wife then.

I dunno about a $340 add-on. How come you're such a Kimber fan?

If your wife isn't experienced shooting, it's DEFINITELY not the gun for her. It packs a lot of kick... As I said, more than a (full frame) .45

Is she looking for something concealable, or just easy to handle?

If she's looking for something in a medium frame, I like the Walther PK380. It has a rail for mounting a laser on, and it's very easy to use, and has very little recoil.

For small frame, I'd recommend a 5 shot .38 special with a 2" barrel. It packs a little bit of kick, but less so than the LCP, and they're very concealable. Look up the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard or Centennial.

Oh, she's not looking at all. I doubt I could pay her to carry a gun. I was sort of thinking she might have fun shooting one at a range.

Those are sweet, but big and expensive.

Check out the PK380 then. It has room to accessorize.

The only drawback is that it's only got an 8 round magazine.

Here's expensive.

Kimber Ultra Carry only has a 3" barrel, so it is small.

8 rounds should be enough to allow me to run like hell.

Well, yeah, as soon as you start getting into custom work.

Maybe small enough. I dunno.

I'm content with having 5, personally, but some people don't feel at all secure unless they have 17 in the magazine, and one in the chamber. I personally think that's a bit excessive, but to each their own.

I'd recommend finding a range that allows you to try a few different styles and calibers out before you buy anything, especially anything over $350 or so.

Stay with tried and true manufacturers and calibers. Ruger, Walther, S&W (revolvers), and Glock don't have any lemons that I know of.

That's pretty much my thought also. If I need 18 rounds before reloading, it's just not my day at all.

I figured as much. How does one dispose of rotten ammo?

Long story short. A mate had pistol ammo older than me. We took it to the range and fired it one round at a time, making sure it left the barrel. It all fired.
It is a bit risky since the propellant might be degraded and the bullet may jam in the barrel, then you have to use a hammer and rod or a reamer to clear it.

Usually if a round sticks at the mouth of the chamber, a second round will clear it. If it sticks halfway, a second round will probably clear it, but bulge the barrel. If it sticks between halfway and the muzzle you will normally lose your hand and part of you head if you fire again, and the weapon will be u/s. Not that you will be in a position to worry about that.

Otherwise, use a bullet puller, collect the propellant and flare it off in the open air, and pop the caps on the empty cases. The best way is to chamber them individually in a pistol. That way you have no explosives to dispose of. The caps in old bullets might be something nasty like fulminate so it is best just to bust them rather than drop them in the rubbish.
