Look! You'll be able to accessorize it too!

BikerPuppy--always a consideration when going armed!

You wouldn't want to look tacky when standing over the body of your victim, would you?

Ryan--I knew of such small antique guns, but modern versions seemed absent till now!

Wenthral--important point, not addressed by manufacture, natch!

Wenthral & Paul, I was a city boy moved to the country. I had to learn about guns and gun safety from responsible adults. Oh... most of the kids in my high school owned or had ready access to guns in many forms and, IIRC, we didn't go around shooting each other.

As far as an "easy to use weapon", I'd think a good short barreled 12gage would be a LOT more useful!

Great point Marc. I guess the same applies for time traveling to the Jurassic period. I mean, you'll need a gun verse those friggin' dinosaurs too.

Nobody understands the plight of time travellers.
