| | | Not trying to hit you with a shovel . . . I just feel a lot of people discard revolvers and ignore the reality of gunfights and defense scenarios. No one thinks 2x about carrying a 1911A1 - just 8 rounds, yet many discount a 6-shooter. It's mechanically perfect and it's more accurate than a striker-fired autoloader. .357 is a motherfucker of a load too. Look at the ballistic tables on that round. It tops .45 and .44MAG in most comparisons.

| | | Back to your question. G26 is the best compact 9mm I have ever owned. My wife loves hers. I love my G27. I know they cost a fortune in CA these days though. Are you looking at used guns. Buy a well used one and replace the springs - that's my MO. Have you looked at older Ruger P-series handguns? They are bigger, but they're bomb-proof. Posted by Wilky
While I own two very fine revolvers(.357 and .44) I would much rather have semi auto in a self defense situation. A well care for, well oiled semi auto with a 12 round clip would be a god-send when your revolver wielding enemy fires his sixth shot. As far as miss-fires and jammed actions go, I can re-cock a semi auto faster than I can pull the hammer back on a revolver. That being said, statistics say that most self defense scenarios involving hand guns only last about 15 seconds. SO I say, go with whatever suits your personality, but take care of it and know how to use it. That's the most important thing. Edit - Dave, the 32acp is a fine self defense weapon but with it's limited round size, your limited to the power it packs. You can't help but wonder if it would really stop a drugged up attacker.

| | | The police in europe have been killing unarmed suspects w/ .32 a.c.p. for a lot of years... i don't see anyone drugged or not being much of a threat after taking five 32's in center mass. worried about doing enough damage? try Glasers. The small easy to carry pistol that you have w/ you is a LOT better than the big heavy one you left at home because it's a pain to hump around w/ you. My friends have been known to bragg about thier 44's...right until I pull mine out and say well, where is this big .44?....looks like my wimpy little .32 is better RIGHT NOW because I have it with me. that colt 1903 is a great carry pistol. just make sure you carry it.
