I have a lot of issues with yours... NO beginner can fire accurately, and with reasonably rapid follow up shots with any precision...with ANY pistol. I would not feel unsafe with a Charter .38sp in my pocket. While I don't like them... a quality .380acp is "adequate" for self defense.

Dear Colorado:
Please don't take my previous post as some sort of personal attack. It was surely not intended as such. I'm sure you mean well.

But there is a difference in posting personal preferences and posting informed opinions. While I don't claim to be any sort of exalted expert, and do not at all claim to be a guru in these matters, I find myself concluding from your posts that your frame of reference and/or training background may be bit limited.

Perhaps you would be comfortable in sharing a bit about your defensive handgun training experience. We would then be better able to determine how much weight to give to your opinions and advice.
