Well... Don't know about smallest, but I just bought a Taurus PT 24/7 C DS in .40 cal. This site has some pics http://www.taurusarmed.net/forums/index.php?topic=10006.0 (not my posting). After putting 300 rounds through it last weekend, I gotta say that it's a sweet little pistol and really feels good in the hand. As for low maintenance, it breaks down to 4 parts or cleaning and is simple to break down.
This is no Springfield, but it's definitely a good pistol for the price (399). Now I'm looking for another one in 9mm for the wife to carry... -----Original Message----- From: Vivec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 7:17 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: gun talk... clickNclack Hmm..what's the smallest effective handgun you can get right now? low maintenance would be a plus ^_^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:281538 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
