Are 5 shots enough? If you hit em in the right place! Nice Smith!

 

[Snake45]

That's a pretty J-frame.

 

[bennettfam]

I hope 5 are enough, that's all I carry in my unconverted old model .41

 

[Lee Martin]

Nice piece. Those 3" J-frames balance so well.

 

[Jimbo357mag]

No five isn't enough. You got to keep reloading and shooting until your hand gets tired. That's what I do.

Yeah, I think 5 Shots is enough. 335 grain gas checked bullets at 1575 fps.

Another vote of confidence for the 3" J frame.

You know, FastEd -- nice .38, btw -- I'm a big fan of my six-shooter shorties, but I'm thinking five must be enough, statistically speaking, I mean.

I've read that, in a modern gun battle, two to three shots are typically fired. I carry at least six, unless I'm wearing a bottom feeder, in which case it's a few more. But five strikes me as plenty. I carry a little five-shot hammerless & my brother lends me when I visit. I've never felt short sheeted.

I've actually got my eye on a little older blued Rossi 5-rounder (pre-lawyer lock) I think I might pick up if they don't sell it before payday. It would be my first fiver. It's quite slender. I look forward to the comfort.

If needed I hope 5's enough...

 

[sceva]

ONE shot is enough if you do it right. 5 is plenty.

I like your pistols C&L. You have very good taste. Your photography is even better...

Five is always enough for me, In fact I hardly ever carry anything except for one of these two J Frame Smiths in 9mm para..

I've read that, in a modern gun battle, two to three shots are typically fired.

Also, statistically, most gunfights happen within 5 feet distance. So I make a point of staying at least 6 feet away from all bad guys so I will be statistically safer. :wink:

Cocked and Locked: I love those grips on your Airweight Bodyguard. Where'd ya get those?

Talk about eye candy. A lot in this thread, but that's a nice pair of kissin cousins there, BP.
