Hm.

Living in Connecticut now. Big change. I must say - people in Texas, at least the moderate-to-large sized cities, have some seriously different customs. Make eye contact here and mothers hide their children behind them.

Is that a real gun? The lighting makes it a bit hard to tell...
Revolver either way, though, right? Nice.

Real gun, yep. And very unloaded, I checked several times while the pictures were being taken.

It's a "Comanche" 357; it's a pretty good six shot. I need a .22, as that gun, while easy to shoot, is also expensive as hell to shoot.
...I know nothing about ammunition and very little about gun specifications. Mind explaining what that means in a PM or something?

Well, it's slightly confusing - the .357 refers to the size of the bullet. A 357 basically shoots .38 rounds; .38 is the size of the casing. There are three basic types of .38 rounds; the original .38 round, which is no longer in common use; .38 special, which has additional gunpowder, and is the traditional law enforcement round; and the 357, which has even more gunpowder. A box of .38 special ammo will cost ~$0.20 per bullet at retail pricing; a box of .357 will run ~$0.40 per bullet. (I've never bought plain .38 ammo.)

A .22 is a smaller bullet, and significantly cheaper; a .22 bullet will cost ~$0.02, which, as you can imagine, makes them a whole lot cheaper.

A .357 round packs enough punch that even a hyped-up drug user will go down, and doesn't have the painful recoil of a .44, so it is the preferred revolver round for self defense. Because of the expense of shooting it, however, it makes a very poor practice weapon.

It's -not- a hunting round, however, and while sufficient to such purposes, if you're looking for a weapon to take out anything larger than a medium-sized deer, you should go with something with more power. (And you really shouldn't get a handgun for hunting anyways, unless you're a marksman, as the reduced accuracy makes it cruel.)
I see O.o
