Do yall realize how sad this post really is.... a poor soul that escaped from communist china has to come to our country and tell the citizens of this country what we need to do to do to protect our God given rights.... Really.... this is so bad its worse....
Amen. Don't we know it coming off from the pandemic. Those with weapons don't need to bow down to the government. Like our friends from down-under and up north.
Apropos of nothing, I recently inherited a gun that literally fits in the palm of my hand. It's loaded (the box says 22) and has what looks like a screw under the muzzle. Maybe that's a safety of some sort? I mean it actually looks like a toy. I wonder what you call this thing?
I talked to a couple of cops at my church yesterday and they were gonna show me how it works but I got busy in the kitchen and by the time I was finished they had all left for the day. I did get a funny look from the female cop. Maybe because I just told a bunch of cops I had a loaded gun on the church campus.
Any 'patriot cop' would never even flinch at The armed citizen. If they are not intelligent enough to know it is not the armed mom and pop that is doing the shooting, they should not be in law enforcement.
Many departments now have commie insiders. Came naturally with the Diversity quota hires. But you are right, it’s the citizens duty to keep themselves safe, not the police.
Without further description or a photo, it's hard to say. Palm of your hand, eh? Well, maybe it's a top-break Derringer 2 shot? Or maybe a small Colt that was chambered for .22 (it also came in .25). Does it have a maker's stamp on it anywhere? Colt? S&W?
Look at it very closely.... somewhere on the frame or barrel there should be a manufacturer's mark. Can you post it here? That will go a long way in determining what you have.
OH YES!! Now I know what you have, I've owned a couple of these over the years. ".22 LR" or "long rifle" is just the designation of the ammo, not the gun itself. .22LR (long rifle) means that it's not a .22 short, although you COULD shoot .22 shorts in your pistol if you wanted to; but .22LR is the LARGEST you can fit in the little chambers. There is a .22 Magnum round but it won't fit your American Arms mini-pistol.
In general, these things are simply hideout guns, something to carry in your pocket as a backup. It is generally true that a lot of shooters regard this as a "mouse gun" and wholly inadequate for self-defense, but if it's all ya' got, it's all ya' got.
The recoil is practically nil, but the little pistol will jump a bit with each shot. I always had to regrip the thing after every shot, the rounded grip would cause it to rotate upward upon recoil.
Notice: Some years ago there was a bunch of misfires with these guns because people would let the hammer rest on a round, meaning that if the hammer got hit it could strike the rim of the round beneath it and go off. Several injuries were reported from it. American Arms did a PR thing and offered to replace the cylinders on all those guns. The new cylinders had a little cutout between each chamber so the hammer could rest on bare metal, not on a round of ammo.
Check to see if you see little "notches" cut out on the cylinder...if so, you have the save version. If not, you might want to contact American Arms to see if they will replace it for you. It was often done, back in the day, free of charge, because their liability was rather high.
I even once saw a belt buckle that would accept this little pistol so it looked just like a fancy western belt buckle, but it would deploy the pistol if you wanted it. I don't know if those buckles are still available or even legal these days.
YOU'RE THE BEST Banjo!!!
I do have notches carved on the cylinder. And the bullet package says, "Stinger 22LR.... 22 long rifle copper-plated hollow point".
This was my mother-in-love's gun she bought in 2003 after my father-in-law died. I'm sure they sold her this tiny thing because of her age and its lesser recoil. I do have a Lady S&W, but I don't carry it. I should though, but I'd rather get in a few more days at the range first.
Well with a Lady Smith (.38 caliber I presume?) you have a more robust self-defense round. There's not a lot that can go wrong with revolvers, they are just point and shoot. With practice, accuracy will come in time. But don't practice at 25 yards or anything like that. Nearly ALL self-defense actions happen up close and personal, usually less than 10 feet.
Learn how to hit a target at 10 feet, and THEN learn how to draw and fire at a target only 3 feet from you. There are excellent YouTube guides on how to do that. I involves keeping the gun closer to your torso rather than extending it out at arm's length.
I generally discourage first-timers and women from getting automatics, as several things can go wrong at a critical moment. If you shoot an auto "limp wristed" you can cause the cycle to not work and jam; detritus from a purse can get in the works and gum it up; you have to think about "Is the safety on? Is there one in the chamber?" And so on.
So revolvers are usually quite good for beginners and folks who aren't gun savvy.
Whatever caliber your Lady Smith is (.38 or .32 or even .22LR) get to know it intimately. How to load it, how to empty the chamber using the cylinder ejection rod, how to reload quickly, how to clean it, and so on. If it's a .38 or .32, always use hollow-points.
And if you have the .357 version, I would advise you NOT to use .357 ammo, you would find the recoil punishing and maybe even uncontrollable. It is perfectly fine to shoot .38 ammo in a .357 pistol, I've done it many times.

It's cyclical.
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times."
It is the way, unfortunately.
Boom 🙌🙌🇺🇸
You go girl!
Hear, hear!
See Shawn Ryan's interview with her for more information, it is very very good
Note to World:
The Champion of all the mass killings in the world is tyrannical government.
Fact.
She is more of an American than any lefttard born a US Citizen.
Amen. Don't we know it coming off from the pandemic. Those with weapons don't need to bow down to the government. Like our friends from down-under and up north.
This is why I know we win in the end. Just make sure y'all prepare yourselves for what comes between now and then.
Shout it from the roof tops lady!
FAFO
A longtime online friend. She's lived the nightmare and has been living the fight for freedom ever since she obtained hers.

Take it to a shop with a smith and they can check it over.

Most of the men at my church wear suits or sports jackets. I suspect they are all strapped.

Yes, correct.
They culled the free thinkers with plandemic and clot shot, Yes men/women are left to kiss boss ass
A Derringer of some sort probably

I don’t know how to add a pic here but yeah it’s def smaller than the palm of my hand.

It says "American arms corp. Provo, Utah" and ".22 long rifle". Long rifle? This damn thing is only about 4 inches!

FYI they kind of suck and are dangerous
What part of this wasn't factual and warranted downvoting?
Even here we have our fair share of morons
The only error in the whole dang thing!
Love it!

That's not what happened in Tian'anmen Square
Were you there? Sounds like she was.
You do not know a damned thing about her
