My father in-law doesn’t have his Larry. We go to the range, and he keeps a pistol for home defense. Earlier this year he got bit by a dog on the hand, and it jacked up his index finger. The DA revolver isn’t fun for him to shoot anymore.
He keeps mentioning the S&W Bodyguard 380. Seeing as this is going to be a range toy/home defense firearm, I’m trying to talk him out of the 380. Am I off base on this one? It seems to me that he would be better served by something with a longer sight radius, and a little heavier.
I’m open to things I can suggest to him. I’d like to get him into 9mm at a minimum. He wants something American made (I’m the crazy son-in-law with a Croatian gun), and not super expensive.
