My mother and grandmother have both carried 45 lc revolvers as long as I can remember and there both afraid a 22mag revolver wouldn't be enough for self defense. I personally carry a 45acp so I'm not a good arguement. Is this something I shouldn't be pushing then into? My reasons are one size grandma still carries a colt single action her dad gave her. Second both if them jam them in there purse and are planning on shooting through there purse. Just wondered your thoughts? Thank you in advance.
