<div dir="ltr">Bill-<br><div><br></div><div>I'm late to the discussion, and it doesn't tick all your boxes, but I'd give some thought to a Ruger LCR .22, a revolver that holds 8 rounds (<a href="https://ruger.com/products/lcr/specSheets/5410.html">https://ruger.com/products/lcr/specSheets/5410.html</a>). People like to complain about the stopping power of a .22LR which I suppose is valid, but it's a very small gun, gives you 2 extra rounds compared to a typical revolver, and is ultra reliable.</div><div><br></div><div>In semis, I love the FN509 midsize 9MM. It's not compact, but is still small enough to carry concealed, and is very well made. It has 4 safeties but other than the hinged trigger, they're pretty much all passive.</div><div><br></div><div>I understand if no manual safety is a showstopper, but personally, I think manual safeties do more harm than good and should be avoided.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 9:56 AM William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I am a little torn: I have a Ruger .22. Roz will have a Glock 19 gen 5 if I get no recommendations that seem objective. Do I need another gun? Can I sell my .22? Nothing on eBay I notice. Illegal? She will be in the back of the house, far from the front doors, and I am ten feet from it and twenty feet from the only back door. A bold break-in would likely leave Roz far away from the action; but she will have the pistol. I think you are probably right and I need to get a gun that will stop someone faster than the .22 could. Come to think of it, I haven't thought of it. My .22 is in the back of the house. I'll move it up here. This is a quiet neighborhood, circa 50s. Four blocks from the courthouse. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I judge my security to be inadequate. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Thanks bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 19, 2021 at 7:19 PM spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>…</b>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat<br><br><b>Subject:</b> [ExI] pistols<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black">OK, ladies and gentlemen, recall the T shirt that some women wore? <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black">"I am out of estrogen and I have a gun."<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black">That describes my wife except that she doesn't have a gun.
