That's not the analogy I would use. It's more a case of I don't wear a lifevest in bed in case I drown!!

I don't feel and never have felt under threat walking around my town/country so don't presently feel the need to wear a gun.
And I wouldn't consider myself unself-reliant: after all, I'm still alive!

However, it's good to know that both the models I've mentioned get a thumbs up from those in the know. They both felt nice and up close did look really nice. Unfortunately, I doubt I'd be able to try before I buy but the shop said that they have their gunsmith test everything before they sell, and they do good deals on amm: cheapest 1000 rounds bulk buy of 9mm yet!

@ Mr. Blue:

That is a good point which I hadn't thought of. Unfortunately, the only .357s I know I can buy here are the uber-expensive Ruger, as nice as they are. Perhaps this Arminius stockist can give me a price on the HW 357.... Something to investigate during my next lesson
