Save up a bit more and find yourself a pre-1970s pinned and recessed model. Much higher quality than the modern stuff.
pre-1988 Model 29's are not suited for .44 magnum cartridges and will go out of time quickly. the pins will shear in the frame, and the barrels had a life span of 5,000 rounds due to forcing cone erosion. it was just a .44 special bored out to take the longer rounds after all. IIRC after the endurance package the cylinders were made of a tougher alloy. the model 25s in .45 colt do not have this fancy cylinder alloy and thus cannot take the same loads a ruger or colt anaconda can.

Modern new build model 29s are the best constructed model 29s to come out of the factory, its the quality assurance that makes them suffer.
 
Anyone have a Ruger PC carbine? I think they look kinda neat for the reasonable price they are. Apparently someone makes a 92 mag adapter for them too. That and the Glock mag adapter and man you have a little takedown carbine that can take two really common magazines. What's the recoil like on a blowback pcc vs an AR?

I fucking hate politicians and their slimy double-speak. Fucker is lying out of his ass, not only about his motivations, but also about Rittenhouse provoking those fuckers into attacking him so he could claim self defense.

It's the Californian libshits bubble, that has yet to be burst.

And basically want to destroy castle doctrine.

84BBs for $299. I have the money but I stop myself from ever buying anything fun so please someone else do so. I have a .32 81BB already. Very fun to shoot. You can shoot 32 from these if you'd find a 32 barrel and then just need a mag. Same with the 32s and 380

Well, I just went ahead and ordered one. I hope you're happy with yourself. 🙂

The double action will likely be pretty heavy. They're meant to be carried cocked and on safe. Beretta is making new 80Xs so it'll have parts and mags even more now. Have fun. Also can't hurt to get a snap cap. Some people have issues with dry firing them a lot and the firing pins

This is absolutely just a "for funsies" range toy, so I'm not too worried about the DA trigger. I've already got some snap caps (I like dry fire practice while watching TV - don't judge me) in .380.
 
the Beretta 84 is a balanced recoil pistol, with the ratio between recoil spring and hammer spring determining pull weight and recoil. a 12# hammer spring will greatly lighten trigger pull while barely increasing perceived recoil. Wolf makes springs for it still iirc.
My 81BB is Italian forest service surplus (has the markings and everything) so they may have a heavier spring in there but God it's hefty. I should look into something else. As a hefty all metal 32 it's already got basically zero recoil. It's fun. I love the irons actually. Much preferred to 3 dot
 
Seriously. I'm SUPPOSED to use my New Gun Funds for an S&W Classic Model 29 now that the Hillary Holes are gone.
The Classic 29 still has the Hillary Hole as far as can be told. The 10, 19 and 36 are the only no-lock revolvers.

Would a CVA Cascade be good or nah

I wanna get something in 6.5 or 300 PRC since it's supposedly more accurate than 300 win mag, but idk if that gun is worthy of a PRC
There are lemons in all brands but CVA seems to be okay. Tikka is generally the one that's pushed for a PRC base since Howa allegedly grenades, Bergara has bad extractors and Savage has been shitting the bed in quality this past decade.

My mom just asked about getting a better self defense pistol for her to use than what my dad currently has around the house, a 6" GP100.

I think this may be perfect. Cheap enough for them to actually consider it (despite the absolute fact that I know they could afford much more...) and for the price its not an absolute POS that is a Taurus or equivalent new gun.

An 8/10's 92 should fit the bill perfectly, with enough capacity to be practical for HD, even if its "just" a .380.
 
As was mentioned before, shell out for Lehigh Defense, those Xtreme Penetrators are impressive even in .380.
Those Lehigh defense 380s are fucking brutal wound channel wise despite not being a HP, and good penetration. People shit talk 380 a lot and I really don't understand. Shot placement is everything and man some of the 380s out there are like 22 recoil. Even the P365 in 380 despite it's size is like shooting a 22. The biggest downside of 380 is the cost. More than 9mm.
