ok so i'm new here and i need a little advice from all you expert people out there.
the neighborhood i live in used to be really nice, but over the past month there have been three shootings within throwing distance of my town house, one was just last night and one person was critically injured and the other died. the shooters (there were two seen) haven't been found. the moment i found out i decided it was time to get a pistol.
so why do i need help? well it's a stupid reason, really. i'm a skinny guy. more muscle than you think but still weaker than your average person. I want to get a revolver, and am looking at the Taurus 608 large frame .357 magnum with an 8 1/3 inch barrel. I don't know if the kickback would be too much for me to handle reliably though.
I want a revolver, and something with some barrel to it, not some little snub-nose toy looking thing. If i have to point this at someone i want them to be so scared shitless that i don't have to fire.
think i could handle it? it's been a long time since i fired a gun, but i can fire a 9mm no problem. i just don't want one. if i have to get a gun, i might as well get one i like, not just some random self defense tool, right?
