those who are a bit recoil sensitive the 380


I have a heluva time grasping the thought that the 380 kicks too much. Typical of a society where we give the same trophy to our losers as our winners, if you can't handle a 9 then carry something smaller just to carry something that you can "easily" handle. How about learning to shoot?

Reminds me of when I worked at at Donner Ski Ranch in the Sierras. We rented skis to people. Newbies would come through and we would issue a ski length proper for their height and weight. Well, they often would return shortly after with those skis in hand, saying that someone told them to get shorter skis because they couldn't steer the ones they had. A simple $12 beginning ski lesson would have taught them all they needed, but they would rather flail around on undersized boards because someone equally clueless gave them the "easy" way out.
