My son has a Taurus clown pistol that puts a smile on everyones face when they shoot it. It takes .45 LC, .454 Cassull and .410 ga..... .45 and .454 penetrate too much in a house, but .410 in a pistol would be one fine personal defense round. Just something else to consider.

Future value isn't something I'm necessarily interested in. That all said - I'm also peeking at the new VersaMax semi-auto from remingotn.

They've got a 22" model that's intriguing...just don't know if I want to spend that much money.....choice, choices....
