There could be other factors but .357 revolver wins hands down in my book, powerful bullet, revolver much reliable gun, easy to maintain, longevity vs Beretta pistol.


Yes .357 ammo is expensive compared to .32 but if you can afford them or get to travel abroad to easily replenish the ammo supplies then go for .357.


best

By the way I voted by mistake for Beretta meant to click Colt so in all its only 2 votes for Beretta..

14.5 lacs or 12 lacs good heavens keep them both tell SWBO they are better investments during these times of Inflation...even gold is fluctuating it makes business sense now. For safety buy some trigger locks just incase she gets trigger happy.

There is another rule with polling one has to comply with the majority but got a feeling its Colt thats gonna ride away in the sunset..

Cheers

I'd rather you kept the one that shoots well and feels like an extension of your limb. A good solid hit is what matters when the chips are down.

i agree with marks man. its more of the "feel and instinct" that matters than tech specs.

or I have a splendid solution.. invite all of us to try out both the guns and then we will give your true feedback. and dont tell us to bring our own ammo!!

diskaon..

P.S. I would vote for the 357 (this does not stop you from inviting us)
klick klack..... diskaon

I agree too.. What is best for you is BEST for you. Get into two different drunken brawls of similar circumstances, and the one that gets you out best is the one you should keep. If, in the first brawl, the first option does not work out, we will never know what was best suited. So, prefer you mention beforehand, what you are taking out :) :)

In many/ most places it is illegal to carry a gun into a bar/ place which serves liquor - besides I would strongly suggest not packing in a gun when going out drinking! A drunken brawl will get you a broken nose... pulling out a gun during the course of a drunken brawl will get you a "noose" around your neck! :P

Holy Cow... thats a lot for a gun... i was under impression for between 4-6L.. I wonder if we can keep a record of the max price someone can pay or paid for a normal use gun.( non-historic or specialy crafted guns)

Prices are crazier than i expected :shock:

Cheers
