Hhehee, you have to remember that I'm English and we don't have guns over there, so when I moved the the US and went to my first gun show I just HAD to have one; so yeah, they're both very real.
The .45 Ruger I bought because when I asked the guy about a .38 Vs. .45, he held up two fingers - pinky and thumb - and said "if someone breaks into your house, do you want to make a hole in him this big *pink* or this big *thumb*".
I bought the .45
The other one ... a Tec-9 or something ... I got because it was on sale with a free extended clip. Just a hundred bucks! BARGAIN! A woman can never pass up a bargain!
