Re racking, I can do it, it isn't that, its the fact I find it difficult and would rather get a gun that I can handle easier even If I dont spend time at a range and besides that I want a new Automatic. I had a few revolvers and gave them away recently to my nephew, and regretted doing it ever since, but he wanted them, so I did it and I guess I still want one... I live in a pretty rural area and when I moved here 50 years ago my wife and I used to just go out back and shoot, and nobody cared, but those days are gone now and have been for a while. Yeah Id love to get another dog, a few things make that difficult, one we do leave home often enough and would have to put him in a kennel, also I'm older and rather not die on the dog and have him homeless, and besides all that, I am tired at crying every time I have to bury one. Hell Ive had probably twenty of em over the years.

Well said.

Truth be told, hell a cat would do...I'm 84 and nobody has ever come near my house, so I think my reasons are really I just want to buy another gun. I wonder if anyone else is like that.

Great, I appreciate the video, very informative. including information on similar weapons, THX

Re suggestions, yes I agree a revolver seems like a good idea, and I will buy one. probably short, or snub 38...I imagine there are quite a few available used or new. Seems like a nice weapon for the bedroom night table. But I also wanted a automatic, and I suppose truth be told I really don't need more than one gun, like I tell my wife about her and shoes not that it helps, , but I still do want an automatic and I want one that slides easier than most.

I recently got my NJ handgun permit for 2 weapons.and have a few questions. I am 84, and have owned a few guns most of my life, but its been many years since I did anything but occasionally oil one and put it back in the drawer. The last time I shopped or fired was early 1970s and back then I bought a Walther PPK380. I'm older now and have trouble with hand strength so racking the rec on the Walther is too difficult. I'm shopping for a small hand gun that I can easily handle, really just for home protection. Id like an automatic maybe 9mm or 380, and a revolver probably 38cal but I'm not sure.. I prefer smaller weapons as small as possible, but in the case of the Auto Id like something not to difficult to rack, I have had a few suggestions, one was the S&W EZ ..and a couple of others but finding a shop close to me that has a large selection seems difficult . I live in Colts Neck and Id like any suggestions on a shop, the closer the better, that would have a good selection of the kinds of guns I'm looking for so I can handle them and feel the difference BTW Is it possible to use my NJ permit out of state or to purchase a hand gun on line?? and how does that work?? .
