Saturday Night Specials?

I've often seen politicians and cops talking about "saturday night special" handguns. or "junk guns".

What's that?

typically small .38 revolvers or derringers.

Easy to conceal, fairlly cheap to purchase. Sure that many fatal crimes are tied to it so they thing that removing the right to own them will cause a drop in gun crime...yeah right! I'm sure that a criminal will be sure to stop using guns that they but off the streets once they do that ****.

2nd ammendment says it all...leave our damn guns alone!

That may actually work.. it's a single shot, but it's a hell of a heavy bullet..

here you go not a 25 but a Phoenix .22. Very difficult to shoot it has 2 awkward safeties and is super picky about what types of ammo it'll feed reliably. No way in hell would I pick this style of gun to save my life but they're ok to learn with.

Re: Saturday Night Specials?

good ol' saturday night specials lol...****** pieces of ****...like everyone said...even tho at one point in time the term was to coin a single gun...by todays standards its basically any cheap gun...

The original SNS' was a single shot derringer u could order thru the ****** mail...but that was a long time ago.

Those phoenix and ravens...well they'll shoot...but not well...jams, stove-piped shells, and they dont shoot straight for ****...but hey as a last stand gun why not (hide in a boot shoulder crotch armpit pretty much anywhere)

High-point are probally the best SNS's out there lol...yea I kno theyre a full frame but look at the price...to me theyre SNS's too...seriously 100-300 bux for a .380/9mm/.45

Instead of having to think
wheter yours is a case of justifiable self-defense,
you'd have to think wheter the punk deserves such a waste of money..
a .50 AE round is quite expensive, isn't it?

Re: Saturday Night Specials?

They're bellyguns. As in when someone does the "i'll push you cuz im a gansta and all my boy's is gonna back me" ****, you push the tiny .25 or .22 or .38 into their belly and pull the trigger. Or pull both triggers on some sat specials. The "badass" fall's, gun goes back in pocket and you leave..
They are novelty items at best. Useless. I have a bellygun that look's exactly like a big pen. Shoots one .38 special round via a spring and a lever. Very crude and very dangerouse to have in your pocket. I will not attempt to shoot it cuz it will not handle a .38 let alone a special. I keep it because it is old and cool. For the record i took the spring out so it has been rendered useless.

Re: Saturday Night Specials?

when me and my boy got our pistol permits he got a jenning's .22 nickel plated for like $100 brand new. I spent $300 on a Walther P22. But that jennings is a decent little gun. Fun too shoot such a tiny gun. Hasnt evr jammed yet with a few hundred rounds through it. And the nickel plated looks pretty dope
