Hey Indian,
Its not only the KF rounds that iwas talkingabout but also the imported rounds, actually i was talking about the elly as i use them.

when it comes to a 0.22. would brandishing the gun be a better strategy than actually shooting..? reloading is out of question irrespective of which gun you have.

reloading would be needed if you are being attached by a mob.. where running would be a better strategy.. and running fast would be the best strategy.......(unless u have an uzzi or AK in ur dickey)

I feel that a handgun can be used as effective self defense in case the assailants are three or less. irrespective of the caliber of the hand gun.

on the other hand...
a shotgun can change the equation even though it has only 2 shots (this is my personal opinion - not backed by any research) since it can be intimidating and no one wants to be in front of the barrel of a loaded shotgun. imagine what will be the reaction of the intruders when they see the head blown out....(shotgun v/s watermelon)

NEVER EVER use KF ammo for self protection as the first line of defence.... only use imported rounds... their higher cost would certainly compensate for your saved life !!

hi friends,
Its good if the revolver has come with steel chamber,better if the prise is same. About lethality , i think self defence in a country like India where u generally don't expect robbers and bullys to use Ak 47 type of weapons, the idea of self defence is only to avoid immediate danger and get enough time to secure yourself by leaving the threat zone. Think of a scuffle leading to a nife pullout by enemy...ie contender and then a shot on his ribbs by u using .38 pistol..... section 302 IPC...isn't? Instead, if u use .22 rev as a detterent or even u shoot him also.. chances of his survival are more ......leading u to lesser legal complications. More so its easy to hide and there are fewer chances of this wpn getting stuck at the time of requirement. Off course in the combat zone i would love to see enemy heads rolling and their blood flooding, but over any street of my country a bleeding hole in the corpus of an indian (caused by me) would give me enormous pain. And mind it.. u cant do much against superior performence wpn or outnumbering muzzels even if u have a 9mm pistol in your hand.

You are quite mistaken.... There was a sting op by Thehelka not long back in which black marketeers were ready to supply them with an AK + ammo for just INR 70,000!

Pardon my French but this is utter BS!! If you are attacked by someone you are well within your legal rights to defend yourself with all means at your disposal. In a real self defence situation you want to "put down" the assailant as quickly and efficiently as possible so that he doesn't shoot back at you.

Off course in the combat zone i would love to see enemy heads rolling and their blood flooding, but over any street of my country a bleeding hole in the corpus of an indian (caused by me) would give me enormous pain. And mind it..

If you would rather that your fellow Indian kills you in stead of you efficiently defending yourself - that's entirely up to you. Me? I'd rather make a big hole in him than he make one in me!!

Eh?

hi friends,
a bleeding hole in the corpus of an indian (caused by me) would give me enormous pain. .

I wouldn't like getting shot.... be it an Indian or a foreigner. If there is a threat from a potentially lethal type of weapon like a dagger or a gun, particularly from someone who is commiting a cognizable offence, well... then he gets it square and centre... What I would try to do however is to assess whether a shot lower in the body would be a deterrent for him or not... but this is a split second decision....

All these years I always thought 22 revolvers are used for plinking . Its only now when I see these exhorbitantly priced 22 ammo & the various discussions on this forumn that I have changed my opinion to a certain extend that its used for self defence too....

AC, it's a matter of beggars can't be choosers.... with limited choices one ends up using whatever is available! Ideally for self defence applications the .38 Special (for revolvers) and the .380 ACP (for autos) should be the bare minimum - insofar as cartridge output goes...
