Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main criticisms of the Bersa Thunder for concealed carry?

The Bersa Thunder is primarily criticized for its poor metallurgy, with a high incidence of broken metal frames observed. The speaker describes the metal as looking like 'compressed sand,' indicating a potential weakness in its construction.

Why are single-action revolvers like the Ruger Vaquero considered impractical for urban self-defense?

Single-action revolvers are deemed impractical for urban self-defense because they are too slow to fire and reload in a modern defensive scenario, making them less suitable than faster-firing semi-automatic pistols.

What makes the Taurus Judge a "novelty gun" according to the review?

The Taurus Judge is considered a novelty gun due to poor accuracy with slugs and insufficient penetration with buckshot at defensive distances (20-30 yards), combined with concerns about Taurus's general reliability.

What are the primary reliability issues with the Kel-Tec PMR-30?

The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is notorious for extreme reliability issues, earning it the nickname 'jammomatic.' It also suffers from poor build quality, using screws and glue, and employs a less-than-ideal defensive caliber (.22 Magnum).
