Well, my blue 2024 Python impresses me. With 38 wadcutters it makes me look like I know what I'm doing, but I don't use it for self-defense, home-defense, or pass defense. I just shoot it.

The gun that I actually use for everything is about as far from that as it can get I suppose. A simple Smith and Wesson 380 EZ. It's fairly small and light, important to an old man with a bad back. The slide is easy to rack, the mags are easy to load, it's easy and fun to shoot, and I shoot it pretty well. It's the gun I stick in a holster when I leave home, and the gun I take out of the holster and put on my nightstand at night, so I guess it's my "home defense" gun.

Sorry, no pictures. It's so ubiquitous I think everyone knows what they look like. Think "little black gun." I believe I paid about $325 for it.
