You go granny! Thinkin' about adding a sneaky snubbie to my collection, something in size .357 mag, thank you. All this brings to mind a quote from The Best John Wayne Movie Ever:
"Rooster Cogburn: Why, by God, girl, that's a Colt's Dragoon! You're no bigger than a corn nubbin, what're you doing with all this pistol?
Mattie Ross: It belonged to my father, he carried it bravely in the war, and I intend to kill Tom Chaney with it if the law fails to do so.
Rooster Cogburn: Well, this'll sure get the job done if you can find a fence post to rest it on while you take aim."
... or walker, lacking a fence post
