I took a lady friend to the "big" local gunshop a few months back to purchase a steel frame D/A .38 snubbie for concealed carry, her first firearm purchase. Tell the clerk what we're looking for and he begrudgingly puts what they have on the table, practically holding it with two fingers at arm's length. With not a moment's pause the guy places a Glock 43 9mm on the table beside it, saying this is the latest and greatest carry piece. I thank him but say we're looking only at revolvers. With a grin as though he's just cured cancer the clerk pulls out a 6" Taurus Judge and places it on the counter, proclaiming "this one fires shotgun shells, perfect for a beginner". That's when we left.
