We always carried sub nose 38s when I worked for the state of Missouri. Always felt like a detective in a 1970's cop drama

Kinda nice it can use moon clips too. So speed loads are at least semi doable.
For a while my entire collection was classic Smith revolvers. Just love the grip angle and triggers. You can make anyone a good shot with the correct size, frame, and load. And about an hour.
But, alas. I moved to 1911s so I could old more round.
Not plural.
Anyone on here have a Tazer Gun? I was thinking of getting one as the laws in NJ have changed on owning Tazers. I was thinking of a less lethal weapon to own instead of my Handguns or Rifle. Any thoughts on these?
I got a Springfield Armory 1911 earlier this year and love it. It's heavier than my other Handgun, but I love the feel and the shooting it at the range.

I have a bunch of CZ's in Canada. If this pistol is brand new be prepared to put ~200rds down the pipe before true accuracy is seen. I have 2 pistols, a shotgun and 10 rifles (various cals) and this applies for all but the 22lr's which are awesome out of the box....everything else is tight and requires break in before true potential is seen. If in doubt and you are shooting pie plates on the first range visit....ignore it and dump another few boxes of ammo clean and go again with the gun left a bit oiley. I would never give up my SP-01....being canadian i have the full model, compacts are prohib here.

Airweight. Eff that.
Fully shrouded hammer?
My first gun was a .357 with a partially shrouded hammer.

fun.... 38spec on the air frame makes so much more sense. I guess its just the compact size the cylinder looks so long even with 38. I don't get to handle the smaller pistols much in Canada....very few folks still have prohib licenses for pistols under 4-3/4". S&W makes some great stuff. I have models 19-4 and 27-9 both full size beauties that rest in the safe between brief dances at the range.

1911s are great guns. They fit my hand so well and the triggers are super forgiving for shooters. Great choice!
Literally one more round?
Re: revolvers. Would love a Python, but the next best thing...
I had a 79 Colt Python for a few years. The trigger was jaw dropping, but boy did that thing spit brass. Pissed me off!

Can't own a taser here in Canada but I have removed prongs from "friendly people" in the ER. A taser would not be my first choice in a self defense item, I'd probable choose Mace as a equal but easier deterrent (again illegal in canada, only for bears). Most taser projectiles consist of 2 barb's and a connecting cable/wire of some type btw them which when deployed correctly disables a person from 0-12 seconds for the most part. Great for police take downs but I am not so sure they would be good for self defense. So you know the barbs need to actually penetrate with both probes to actually work so if only one goes in you just stabbed them with a needle projectile but no shock. Also thick clothing with reduce the potential of successful deployment as the probes may only go in a little bit (also leaves a nasty burn) but might not disable as those folks who often came in with a second deployment. Hopefully this will give you the time to run away otherwise whoever you "zap" could get up a few seconds later with a bit of anger.
OC (or "Mace") is a better option then a taser IMO. Tasers arnt a great means IMO due to single shots and needing both probes able to attach. OC will at least shut down 95% of the population in a good spray rather then require a hit that connects with two sharp barbs. Tasers suck to get hit with, but once they are off, the Individual is back to being a threat if they don't stop. OC will ruin there day for a good 30-45min no matter what.
There is a very small slice of the population where OC won't work, but I've seen more success with it rather then a taser miss or hitting a leather coat.
I did some training with revolvers once and I was amazed at how fast I got with speed-loaders. Was making similar scores on the same course of fire used for semis. Didn't expect that but underscores the old axiom: training, training, training.

Did you say Python's? I have a pair of Snakes. The new one likes to hug 2-3 shells before dropping them otherwise its a nice pistol. The WhiteTailer is a treat. I feel like its Police Academy every time I bring it out.
I’d stay away from them for a variety of reasons. TLDR: all the liability of using a firearm but less effective. I never want to ever use a firearm in self defence, but if that situation arises I don’t want half measures.
I'm an instructor... I carry one every day (a two-shot X2) version. These are expensive units, that cost over 1k, plus annual battery replacements and daily spark testing to keep the inerds "seasoned" or whatever the hell that means (likely just a way for Axon-Taser to sell you more $70 batteries). That all said, these are rugged and dependable, but STILL only get maybe a 50% effective rate in the field. As stated above, factors like thicker clothing, suspects that break the wires, or plain old "ya missed" are key factors. But when they work, they work well. Civilian units are specifically designed to be deployed, create disfunction in the attackers muscles for like 10-30 seconds, then you lay that shit down and run away (not even joking).
The handheld "stun" guns do nothing but pain compliance. That is they just hurt. They don't do anything to create disfunction in the muscles (other than the exact spot they strike). Tasers work by creating a neuromuscular incapacitation between the probes (which is why they spread apart when you shoot them out). They literally create static that just fires all the muscles and you can't control yourself, fall down, etc.. The stun guns just jolt you at the point of impact, and most raged attackers can and do fight through that. The movies sow people getting stunned and passing out for an hour, lol... gotta love the movies...
As stated, if you're looking for a SD tool, OC is nice, and less "threatening" than a taser. However, awareness and mindset are the biggest factors of avoiding be targeted for attack. I teach this at work, and do a demonstration of two potential victims. I have the entire lecture hall put on imaginary burglar masks, then pretend to look for victims. I walk in front of the class twice. Once with a meh, nervous energy, and once with a confident and aware vibe. It's palpable which person the class chooses to attack. Criminals follow the path of least resistance. Be very obvious to everyone watching that you are not the person they should pick to rob/attack. This doesn't mean walk around with your chest puffed out and flexing, it means be confident, alert, and unafraid.

No gun here. The New Jersey gun laws are very restrictive.

Someone say Airweight?? Love my 442!
Thanks @Trihonda for the response. Put the lesson on my Tab. LOL Yeah it was just thought about the taser as there have been quite a few persons lately going around our town breaking into cars. I didn't want to put any rounds into anyone over a car or the things in it and on second thought l'll just call the cops if I see anybody snooping around in our neighborhood rather than try to incapacitate them with a Taser for the cops.
