ALOT of guys who badmouth 3.5" guns are doing so because their wives won't let embuy a new gun and since they can't have one (and don't have their household in order) neither should anyone else!!!
Then another section of the population is "skeert" by a little ol 8# piece of steel and plastic. Imagine that a 200#, grown man being skeert of such a thing!!!
Being as I have yet to see "degrees of dead", I'd shoot a 5"er if they made it!!!
