44 Magnum, single action. I'd prefer Colt Anaconda. What, you mean
that not wanting guns in the civilian population means that I don't
know what a gun is? I already wrote that I can disassemble and
assemble a rifle blindfolded. Never handled handguns, tho.

Maybe for the same reason why people usually wear those: appearance of
safety.

I would prefer a good semi-automatic rifle, Heckler&Koch 7.62 NATO,
for instance. Compared to what I'd take with me, Blackhawk is indeed a
fashion statement; and, since my hand is not heavy, the .44 would be
too jumpy to be useful. But we are off-topic: it's not whether guns
are the evil minions of Satan or not, but whether civilians should own
them. As far as I'm concerned, if I go to the States I wouldn't object
a little exercise at the range with you gun freaks, under a condition
that I leave the piece there, where it belongs.
