AK: Nothing like a big Smith K, L or N Frame to get your point across. My favorite S&W is still my 6″ Model 57 in .41Mag (I own a 4″ M629, too). I used to shoot silhouette and ran 210gr jacketed lead core rounds through it. Accurate as hell and they’d knock the snot out of a steel ram at 25 yards. I used to daydream about mailboxes, engine blocks and Coke machines.
Another major drawback to Europeans is that they think the 9mm round is powerful. You’d see cops running around with Walther PPKs in .380. Embarrassing, to say the least. Dude… get a real gun!
