That was my outer monologue, wasn't it?

P.S. Maybe something in a nice Deco jadeite...
I agree. Young kids should not be handling guns. If I had kids and they wanted to learn how to shoot, I think 12 to 14 years of age would be a more appropriate age for them to learn, and then with a small caliber gun that they would not have trouble handling.Fatdutchman said:The little girl with the pink AR15 is way too young to be shooting such a thing. At MOST she should be shooting one of the little Chipmunk single shot .22's. I do think things like this are irresponsible, and it's not just an advertisement. SOME people WILL have their children shooting guns that they simply cannot handle at very young ages. Very stupid. I remember watching a shooting show a couple of years ago where they were at a PPC or some other pistol competition, and one guy had his son with him. His son was probably about 6-8 years old, and he had the boy shooting his .38 Super auto pistol....the boy was not even able to pull back the slide, the father had to do it and then hand the gun to him. It really Irked me. This boy was at pellet rifle age, not major caliber automatic pistol age...
Just shows that you will find stupidity in every endeavor.

A lot of the class that used to be found in the "shooting community" is disappearing. But, the same thing can be said for just about everything these days.
I am definitely a revolver man! I'm not real impressed with Taurus (though I can say it has been a long time since I handled one...perhaps they have improved in the last several years). The Taurus will function, and no doubt one would have no reliability problems with them, but they definitely do not compare with a Smith and Wesson, which they are loose copies of. As far as import revolvers are concerned, I have handled a few Rossi guns, and was far more impressed with them than with the Tauri (that's the right plural form, right?).
I've always wanted one of the little Ruger SP101's, but have never gotten around to getting one...

I prefer autos, but would like to get a nice classic styled revolver, something that the military would have used, U.S. or foreign. What would y'all recommend?
