Well I'm not sure I agree. I bought my revolver (and the hollowpoint bullets
I keep in the speed loader) based on my evaluation of how much bang for the
buck I got. Those hollowpoints will stop a person dead in his tracks. I
would have shot myself in the foot if I'd went for a fancier gun with less
stopping power. Yes, I could have spent more and got more but it was a price
performance tradeoff, I spent under 250 for the whole package.
The gun I bought was designed to kill people, and it sold well because of
that, not the other way round.
