    since its CC it doesn't really matter how it looks. she's not gonna be sneaking into any enemy territory so i dont think light reflecting matters. of course maybe she has a life i dont know about.....

    sweet, my roomie has the .40. personally i prefer autos but for most women i think revolvers are a smarter choice. many chicks (not all) dont know how to clear a chamber or would panic if it jammed and not know what to do. not trying to be sexist but it's true. Diana knows who to handle an auto but im not sure how she would react in a panic situation if there was a problem.... of course if i get her a glock she wouldn't have to worry about that :)

    yes it can, thats what i use to do with mine. .38's for practice and .357s for carry.

    many possibilities..... like a small round with a huge muzzle velocity going through your intended target and hitting some random person in the background. i like slow big rounds or slow average rounds. high speed rounds cause too much collateral

    Actually, slower heavier rounds tend to penatrate deeper. One reason the 125 gr 357 round was developed was to not over penatrate. The sub sonic 147 grian 9mm round penatrayes deeper than the 115 grain 1250 fps round....you need to crack open a book Mr.

    dont mention it to diana! she doesn't know she's getting it. her shitty fucking dad was suppose to get her one for her college graduation but he's a fucking tool so i'm doing it. also, dont mention him cause i'll just start cussing uncontrollably

    a .45 or a .44 special (not magnum) is less likely to penetrate than a .357 or a 9mm. bigger rounds waste less kinetic energy than small rounds. my personal favorite is .40 (hollow point of course). the perfect combo of velocity and stopping power. i'm talking caliber size not weight variation within caliber's. i know my shit :)
