The braided line does provide for a little better control although I did not mention it.

As far as recoil, if you have to use it to save your life you will not feel the recoil, adrenalin will be pumping and it won't be an issue. As far as alternate choices for concealed carry, I plan to do follow up posts to cover some you might like. Thanks.

Helps hold the gun in an upright position at all times. Do like that braided line idea, also probably gives a bit of extra grip for firing.Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-62142354303114254092013-07-09T22:53:21.168-04:002013-07-09T22:53:21.168-04:00We think very much the same... lookin' forward...We think very much the same... lookin' forward to the next post...<br /><br />Dann in OhioGod, Gals, Guns, Grubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289354729286002247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-23543479266944128542013-07-09T19:50:30.563-04:002013-07-09T19:50:30.563-04:00Thank you so much for this post! Last summer, I p...Thank you so much for this post! Last summer, I purchased a 9mm derringer. It fit my hand perfectly and my two favorite guns are my SIGs, both 9mm. I thought it was a good decision because of common ammo and decent stopping power. I also was struggling with concealed carry in the summer if I wasn't using my carry purse.<br /><br />Then, I shot that hateful little gun. Heavy, heavy trigger pull. So heavy that I thought the safety was engaged. Then, the shot. Ow. Too much bullet for a tiny gun. I got rid of it at the next gun show and was glad I didn't lose any money on it.<br /><br />I have a .22 revolver that I really like but it's a full-sized gun (unfortunately .22 mag - ick, spendy but I could get used to it if I had two guns in the same caliber!). I finally got my Ruger 10/22 (on the wish list for a while). I think a .22 derringer may be the next purchase. Damn it. This always happens every time I say, "I don't need another gun." Can you recommend another version of a .22? Mag and LR are already covered. Apparently, my retirement plan is going to be every-freaking-caliber out there... /sarc<br /><br />Seriously, and again, thanks for this post.
