Would you a pink gun?
I'll never understand why the firearms industry decided to market snub nose revolvers to women instead of a more practical light automatic pistol in a caliber like 32acp/380. granted things have changed now
>>65175537i'd actually be wary about a gun THAT pink (the cylinder) being mistaken as a toy/trainer; otherwise, i have absolutely no issue with the color
>>65175539Because they're appealing to the husband. Just like how dog toys are actually to catch the eye of their masters
>>65175562Yeah guns like this can be picked up by people and they pull the trigger thinking it's a toy
>>65175539I was always under the impression that they did it because they fully expect women to limp wrist it (not train) and neglect to maintain the gun; the revolver would fair better in both regards though the obvious recoil you get from shooting magnum rounds in a small gun counteracts things a bit.
>>65175537Pink or tricked-out firearms look bad in front of a court if you ever use one in self-defense. The jury might think that you were looking for an excuse to use it rather than acting in reluctant self defense.It might be fun on the range though.
>>65175670pink actually has the opposite effect you described, with most courts supporting their user
>>65175677Really? I hadn’t heard that. I wonder if the pink helps or if they’re just more likely to be carried by women, which the courts would favor in a self-defense shooting regardless of the gun they carry.
>>65175539>Buy wife .357/.38 special revolver>"Honey, this recoil is killing my hands!">Wife no longer wants pistol>Simply take pistol and cerakote something not gay>Get handgun indirectly through wife's approvalIt's a good strat for those with control freaks in relationships.
>>65175539Because a hammerless snubnose has about the least amount of things that can go wrong, can be stuck into almost any purse, and has the simplest manual of arms.>put sight on threat (or press gun against target)>pull triggerAnd yes they make no sense in magnum calibers but .38 isn't punishing even out of a small frame.>>65175670Any prosecutor arguing about the color of the gun, or ammo choice, or type of gun, or features on the gun is going to get torn apart by the defense becauss none of that is relevent to the question "Was this a legitimate case of self defense?" Time and again that piece of fuddlore has been disproven in court. Hell just look at Rittenhouse, the DA got raked over the coals for going on about a basic AR-15. The gun and possession of it is only evidence of means, never motive. The only way you're going to go to court is if there's a very good chance that "No" is the answer to the central question. Some jurisdictions have laws that change what is allowable self defense, but they're one poorly chosen case away from getting slapped down by a federal judge.
>>65175685applies equally to both men & women (a lot of guys used their wife's gun)people see a pussy gun for bitch babies and frail old ladies, so they go "no man would willingly use that! hes innocent!"if it was a scary black gun? straight to jail, as its obviously for mean gruff murdering men, not women
>>65175537Might look good on some guns (generally a hot pink contrasting with black), but now that anon said it, I would not want the gun to look too much like a toy at a glance.>>65175539I think a big part of the logic is because a DAO revolver is fundamentally really easy to just operate, it's very simple and straightforward for someone who's not very familiar with guns to intuit how to just load and fire them.Now, of course, DAO is generally hard to shoot well, and snubs will have a short sight radius, often together with a grip that's smaller and gives less purchase, and a lighter weight which means more recoil, hence why so many of these guns get bought for (occasionally by) women who aren't really into guns, and then don't get carried much, if at all.Something like the LCRx3 would be way easier in comparison, but it's a larger gun, and it adds potential snag points, which can be especially bad for purse carry (which you shouldn't do, but women are prone to doing it anyway), and it's not necessarily easier enough to be a good fit for her.Something like the P32 feels like a safer bet for that kind of woman. It's not harsh to shoot, and it's small and light so it's going to be easier to carry, more importantly, easier to convince her to carry it on her body instead of in her purse.It's not very powerful, but it's a good bit bigger than a .22 and far more reliable, and she's going to have a way easier time getting shots on target, and quicker. Something in .380, which is NOT a snappy microcompact with a 2.5" barrel, could also be viable, but that's a larger and heavier gun.
>>65175685The least intimidating or pre meditated looking the better when you're on trial and the prosecutors are shaking it in a plastic bag for the whole court to see
>>65175822>we find the defendant not guilty of murder but guilty of the lesser charge of being a homo
>>65175670Go to bed, Ayoob.>>65175880It really doesn't make a very meaningful difference.
>>65175537Sure. Spray paint's cheap. Although it might be fun to leave it as-is, in a GTA big purple dildo sort of way. Question is, would it be better to pocket carry, or use a trollster?
>>65175917Might not for a gun but the classic example is a 4x2 being a lot better than a bat wrapped with barbed wire
>>65175925Keep it in a toybox
>>65175587Then they deserve an AD. Guns aren't toys:>Treat every gun as if it is loaded.>Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.>Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.>Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.This is simple shit people, children know this. You have no excuse!
>>65175925>better to pocket carry, or use a trollster?Perp plant gun.
>>65175670>reluctant self defenseDoes not have to be proved.
>>65175936What happens is people leave them lying around or they fall out of someone's pocket and someone picks it up thinking it's a toy, cigarette lighter etc and pulls the trigger
>>65175955What fantasy land do you live in?
>>65175670Massad ayoob go die in a ditch you retarded arab faggot
>>65175962a fucked up banana Republic called america
>>65175537I'm more partial to purple and those funky lady colors like raspberry whatever ruger likes to offer their little guns in
>>65175955Why would they point i cigarette lighter at their head? Smoking is unhealthy enough.
>>65175969Then you have THE RIGHT to let firearms fall out of your pocket, don't you? Be grateful, commje.
>>65175537sure, but not that one
>>65175537I like pink and a dark red together.
>>65175768The other thing that makes dao revovers good for women is the loading. The act of loading revolvers is inferior to mags but its obvious and women are dumb. You cant cock the hammer and lock the cyclinder where the only way to unload the gun is shoot it or attempt to manually decock. You can always just just push the button swing it out and its safe. So many women complain they cant rack a slide or fail at mag changes since they dont seat it fully. A snub is harder to shoot but the girl carrying it was going to be incompetant with any gun. Might as well sell the one least likely to accidentally shoot a bystander.
>>65175768>and has the simplest manual of armsgun enthusiasts overlook this a lot when helping a no-enthusiast woman choose a gun. I've taken many female friends and family members shooting and almost none of them could remember the steps to load a semi auto, but they only needed to be shown how to load the revolver once or twice.
>>65175768tons of women are so weak they can't even pull the trigger on a revolver. I've had so many guys buy j frames for their wives and then come back a week later wanting a trigger job because she couldn't pull it. if you can't rack a 18 lb slide using your entire body you certainly can't pull a 12lb trigger with just one finger.
>>65175537How much would it cost to get it sandblasted, refinished, and a new grip?
>>65175539Simple to understand.
>>65175973That actually looks good, and it'll look more dignified and adult than bright Barbie pink, which most (but not all) adult women would tend to find kinda condescending.
>>65175537I got a near perfect condition plain black lcr for $350 becore, a hot pink one for $425 isnt very enticing
>>65176864It's very easy to understand, but for the average woman, a DAO snubby is only slightly more practical than a rolling-block rifle for carry (which is probably the most easy to understand cartridge firearm ever devised).She still needs to be able to apply it practically, which is just difficult to do. Shit, men are more likely to carry anything else than DAO snubbies for good reason, and now consider that women are statistically disadvantaged with this kind of firearm due to lower hand strength and being less likely to be interested in shooting guns.Women need more .32 mouseguns and non-micro .380s which have easy to rack slides and simple triggers, I'd always suggest things like a Bodyguard 2.0 over the OP pic.
Pink guns are the most dangerous, especially single shot bolt action 22
yeah
>>65177248Man, they probably stole some little girl's cricket rifle.:(
>>65177248Safely made inoperable with a cable tie
>>65177116It's not their hands, it's their brain that holds them back
>>65175537Obligatory
Colorful guns are neat
>>65177295When did people start acting like .38 has prohibitive recoil?
>>65177295kek
>>65177292Hand strength is vital for shooting double-action well, and DAOs can only be shot double-action, hence women are disadvantaged on that point, and that's in addition to being unlikely to train with the gun, and other statistical factors for women.
>>65177305I don't think anyone did? Unless it's some kind of airweight and you're cranking .357 tier loads or something
>>65177305>erm AKCHTUALLY a .38 snub nose was NEVER known for having recoil
why do people still shop at brick and mortar gun stores?
>>65177305.38 out of an airweight snub is not particularly easy to shoot for a novice.
>>65177285Looks like a crazy girlfriend gun.Here is a Hello Kitty Glock
>>65175537
>>65175537Never have, but I've been known to shoot my own stuff with pink molyresin.
>>65175658>fairIts fare.
>>65175670You have no fucking clue what you're talking about
>>65175880You definitely don't want to be shooting niggers with a gun that's says "NIGGER DESTROYER 9000". Your local law enforcement might have an issue with that.
>>65175537An actual pink gun? Yes. Not some rattle can spray paint job, though. Academy just had a sale on all pink guns…
>>65175572>dog toys are actually to catch the eye of their mastersI saw a dog in the street carrying a 35lb plate and absolutely lost my shit. It was a chewable foam discus light dog toy meant for throwing, but also for making other dog owners jealous because their dog didn't have one. It looked so authentic.
>>65178382Whoops, thank you saar!
