Top 10 Most Popular Handguns with Women Shooters

...and where is the .38 snobby on this list? -
Never had an issue with ejected cases with any semi pistol I’ve fired. Any of the major manufacturer’s offerings would be good. Stick with common ammo-you will have problems finding the more esoteric stuff.

As a life-long leftie I think I can provide some insight....but truthfully, it depends on what you want, and what you intend to do with your handgun. I'm predominantly a revolver person; and the design of a revolver is inherently left-hand friendly. Your left hand's index finger is already right there to work the cylinder latch. Use your right thumb to push the cylinder out of the frame, cradle the revolver in your right hand, and load the cylinder with your left. Very easy. Most pistol grips are equally fine for left/right handers, the hand-specific ones are primarily high-grade target pistols, which you really aren't looking for, anyway. The primary concerns for left-handed operation are the safety, slide release, and magazine release of the semi-auto. We can use the 1911 as a 'for instance', since I am more familiar with them. The 1911-style mag release is near perfect for a leftie (just reach back with your trigger finger). The slide release isn't so convenient, but its also very easy to just pull-back on the slide to release (once you've reloaded). The safety, though, is nearly impossible to operate without changing your hold on the pistol or adding an ambidexterus safety, which puts a second lever on the opposite side of the pistol. Another thought is the purpose behind your pistol....what do you plan to do with it? If this is going to be primarily shot at the range, punching paper, and a learning tool for better pistol handling...left or right handed really doesn't matter much. You simply aren't going to be using the safety; you're going to load, fire, and empty the pistol, then drop the magazine and repeat. In this situation, YOU are the 'safety'....keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire! If its going to be a concealed carry piece; the placement of the safety DOES matter, but you'd probably be best to move out of NJ, as NJ Concealed Carry permits are like unicorns. You'll never see one. If you're looking for a 'game' pistol (there are many different competition disciplines), you are better looking into what is their specific requirements and go from there. There are also many semi-auto pistols that have dropped the safeties in favor of a long, revolver-like trigger. These are also very leftie-friendly, and worthy of your consideration. I'll pass on recommending any, as I have limited knowledge of these.

Probably insurance deductible -
Had two Dodge Durangos from that era....both were absolute rust-buckets. Had rust in areas that no decent vehicle should have rusted

Grewald Can Be Sued in Texas-Printable Gun Plans
W2MC replied to SJG's topic in National Gun Law Discussion
Wonder if the NRA can do the same with New York’s AG? It’s getting interesting... -
Several manufacturers ramped-up production, and had their butts handed to them when the bottom fell out of the market. The Cerberus Group thought they could buy several manufacturers (Remington, Marlin, and several others), uproot them and put them all under a single roof down south and make a killing via “efficiencies” and other such managerial pipe dreams. We’ve all seen how that went.

Crazy small world....I was just NW of you in Lackawaxen today, and was riding down Route 97 on the other side of the Delaware. Had lunch at the Greeley Inn.

OK - wasn't too sure of your level of knowledge or handiness with taking apart a revolver My bet is it's probably got a load of coagulated gummy oil mixed with dried burned/unburned powder inside there. Soaking it will likely free it up, then you can take it apart and get all that gunk out of there

Goobered-up or rusted? This is how the cylinder comes out: GET GUNSMITH SCREWDRIVERS BEFORE YOU START! Even a beat-up Python is worth big bucks....you don't want to booger-up that screw with a junky screwdriver!
