As to that 30mm tripod mounted cannon - only now I've noticed that the table gives its ammunition as ADEN/DEFA. AFAIK that is QUITE potent ammo in that calibre (airplane junkies will know more ).

It is that the brRRRT 30mm is in a different league, being a dedicated AT round, and not for air combat or air to ground against softies.

It's a weird-ass semi compatible thing.

The M230 rounds are 30x113mm, which is the same caliber as DEFA cannons and the Mark 4 version of the ADEN, but earlier ADENs chambered a 30x111mm round. However, despite being the same official caliber, the M230 rounds use lighter, thinner alloy cases as opposed to the ADEN's brass cases and the DEFA's steel cases, and therefore cannot necessarily be safely fired by autocannons designed for ADEN or DEFA rounds.

Which gun do you have / will you get?
My concealed carry weapon is a 2-inch snubbie in 357 Magnum, Taurus 605 in specific. And yes, it has a hammer and SA/DA trigger mode, I have a profound dislike of DAO triggers...
Another hammer gun I have and like a lot is a Taurus PT-92, I really dig the Beretta 92 but wanted to have the safety / decocker on the frame and not the slide. I also love the double function of having both a safety and a decocker.

I currently have the SCCY CPX1 and I will be getting the Taurus Tracker 4 inch barrel 7 shot Revolver.

And how is that SCCY working for you? They don't have a reputation all that good around here. And LOL, I'm strongly considering that very same revolver for shooting wadcutters into paper. I also got the Taurus G3 recently, it has a nice trigger for a striker-fired one, a manual safety which is very rare on strikers, fits Glock sights and is a quite neat gun overall. Fits well under my clothing without printing (requirement for some dynamic pistol matches).
Though I still prefer the PT-92...

It has worked well for me. i was able to drive off a Carjacker by aiming my SCCY at his head. So it does the job.

Thankfully I never had to use any of mine in anger. But I do always carry a can of Fox Labs mace as means of "controlling the level of escalation".

Tarus?! I’ve heard that their guns are crappy knock offs.

 

[Sailor.X]

Tarus?! I’ve heard that their guns are crappy knock offs.

You heard wrong. The revolvers are pretty good.

 

[Tiamat]

Tarus?! I’ve heard that their guns are crappy knock offs.

That used to be true when they were solely based out of Brazil. Not knocking Brazil here mind you, just that Taurus's quality control could be iffy at times. Ever since they went international and began manufacturing more of their firearms out of Bainbridge, Georgia, their quality has gotten a lot better and several of their firearms are quite popular now. The G2 and G3 series pistols are two examples, the Taurus Judge is another, though I think the latter is a bit more niche/gimmicky IMO, depending on how you utilize it.

The only pistol I have is a Romanian Tokarev.

To add to the above, Brazilian Taurus' quality control is crap because they have a by-and-large captive market in Brazil(Taurus lobbies heavily to prevent any foreign arms manufacturer from building factories in Brazil, most recent instance was successfully blocking the building of a CZ factory a few years ago). In the international market they have to spend money on QC, in order to compete.

The Taurus guns sold in the US are made in Florida not Brazil.

 

[ShadowArxxy]

Not since 2019, they moved the company HQ and factory from Florida to Georgia.

Still in the US and not South America.

Well, yes. In the US they have to compete for sales.

 

[Tryglaw]

Tarus?! I’ve heard that their guns are crappy knock offs.

All the ones I have are made in the US and they are every bit as good as other brands. Also, "S&W-era" revolvers of theirs are supposed to be pretty damn good even if hard to get around here.
Sure, you'll get a nicer gun if you pay twice or thrice the price, but heck, even Beretta has been noted to have QC problems and a "92" of theirs costs 2x PT-92 of Taurus make, with my own and the PT-92s of guys I know having been flawless.
In addition, I have a G3, 605 and a 94, and not a single issue with any of them. And I do shoot quite a bit, olympic stance, dynamic, the works...

Them female folkses cannot into guns... 🤦‍♂️

(Inscription in the background commemorates Stalinist victims within Prison Guard and penitentiary service; gals are part of said Prison Guard which is subject to Ministry of Interior.)

Maybe we should get Beretta to expand their product line and build a stylish assault broom which would fit that one gal better. I'd feel a lot safer...

I have seen males who loaded bullets thr erong way, kept trying to shoot after they ran out, load ir backwards, put ACH in backwards.

It isn't just a gender thing, it's a stupid people thing
