I asked one question and I wanted to get the answer before I posted more.

Even at gun stores I never got a real answer to my question about the Rossies but I didn't like the other one I tried also. I think that's the reason they're cheaper. You get what you pay for. I liked the Smith & Wesson so I went to the range and shot one and that tot made up my mind. I didn't want to wait a long time in my situation so I borrowed money from my friend and bought the Smith & Wesson. I went back to the range with my gun and I really like it. I think it's the one! lol. I carry my gun every night I work. I still carry teh mace also but I feel safer with the gun. I'm reading the cornered cat website and slowly paying my friend back. I haven't had to pull it yet but feeling safer is tot worth owing her money.

I hope that's a good update.

Thanks for the help! That cornered cat website is really good.

Hi everyone. I work in a bar and have to walk to my car after we close. I have mace but I want to get a gun. I tried the Smith and Wesson at Carter's Country and it feels good but it's expensive. I went to Academy and looked at the Rossi and it's like $200 cheaper but the trigger is really hard. My hand shakes trying to pull the trigger. Are all the Rossies like that? They guy in the store said to cock the hammer first but I don't have time to brace myself and use two hands if I get attacked.
