A true kit gun being light and lots of ammo light compared to my other carry guns. www.bgoodeknives.com NC Knifemaker

I owned two in the past but was never able to shoot them well at distances 20-30 yards. Still, would like to buy another at some point because of how light and small they are. Would be a perfect walking companion as we have many nasty stray dogs on our walking path. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Mine will be a hiking option different than my 38’s, 32h&r or 44 special. Basically just a walkabout in my woods, maybe an ATV ride. Used to have it on me a lot when I was out goofing off in my big jon boat, but the price went up on them so damn much I started feeling uncomfortable about that. Need something cheaper for that app. With 8 rounds, adj. sights & hardy knowing you have it on, mines been on several outings, even though I have several other options.

I don't need them all, & my chores aren't that demanding, but J's are usefull to me. All these have been on outings at one tome or another.
