My personal recommendation would be to purchase the gun that is closest to your
ideal and still within your price range. But I think it's better to have a $50
.32 revolver than nothing. And a gun has to be pretty screwed up to be "just
as liable to injure the user as the target." I'm not suggesting that people be
stupid.
