That gun was discussed. As in any RIMFIRE REVOLVER, they require a stout hammer spring to ignite those pesky cartridges. It's fine for an able body person to pull that DA trigger, but if a frail, weak or elderly person tries to shoot it, they may not have enough hand strength to pull the trigger. This is a catch 22 (pun intended) with light weight rimfire revolvers. While there is no recoil, so it's easy to frail/elderly/weak person to control, but they may or may not be able to pull the trigger. I have a friend who is a physical therapist that is not able to pull the DA trigger on any revolvers (including centerfire revolvers). She is not physically weak or elderly, but she has no hand strength. Another friend is an elderly lady in her mid 60s, I've taught her how to shoot her Smith model 36 and she can pull the trigger just fine. I can't explain it.
The topic of ballistics of minor calibers (.380, .32, .25, .22) was discussed. The short story is, carry the biggest caliber that one can shoot accurately, a gun that one is willing to carry and one must maintain his/her weapon. Neglected .22LR semi auto is a bitch to operate even if the shooter is a well practiced, well skilled and well trained shooter.
