	they shoot at you first is true. A 9mm is best suited to this in the U.K, as it will go straight through and wound, not kill unless you aim directly at the head. In the U.S.A, fine, but can we please keep this argument within the severe U.K gun laws and stupid legal system? And no, the 29 was fired at a shooting range. I'm not yet old enough to own a firearm legally. And they might have had the Scottish market in mind...there's some pretty aggressive wildlife here. I do see your point, though. All I'm saying is guns like this serve little practical purpose. There's no need to insult my perfectly valid opinion of the home defence, though.

	:I don't know if you are aware of this but first off pistols are pretty mush 100% illegal to own in the UK. The only very rare exceptions to this are game wardens who may require a pistol in special circumstances, such as dense woodland, for culling deer. I wasn't intentionally trying to insult you, but I don't see your opinion as valid and if anything it seems like a dangerous opinion to me. Home defence is not a legal reason for owning a firearm in the UK, the only valid purposes are sport and hunting. If you were to use a firearm you legally had for hunting/sporting purposes for home defence you would likely loose your licence and be prosecuted for firearms offences, regardless of whether you only injured the assailant. It isn't the law that you aren't allowed to kill someone with a gun, you aren't allowed to shoot them at all. You can disagree with British law if you like, but you it is the law as it currently stands. Back on to the topic of guns like the Model 500 IMHO they do have legitimate purposes in sport and hunting, as well as being fun to use (I think this is a legitimate purpose), so I personally don't see them as being useless. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]]		:I don't know if you are aware of this but first off pistols are pretty mush 100% illegal to own in the UK.

	Who wrote the above statement? Name, seriously. Anyway, I don't want a gun that's fun to shoot, I want one that will save my life, and a Deagle stands a high chance of stove piping, and also a higher chance of killing, so I'll get arrested. As for the bear thing, fine in the Rockies of somewhere like that, but I live in Scotland. And I did once shoot a .44 Magnum S&W 29, but the severe recoil combined with my puny arms broke my nose. In America, you have your range toys. But in Britain, we believe in practicality over power. Hey, everyone's entitled to their own beliefs. Alasdair.		Who wrote the above statement? Name, seriously.

	:Not every gun you own has to be for self defence. Being English, none of the guns I own are for self defence, the majority are for sport (in other words, fun). I don't think the target market of the Model 500 and Desert Eagle is people who want one gun for home defence (I also don't think they had the Scottish consumer in mind either). As to your point about about a gun being a poor choice for self defence if it is more likely to kill someone, that is moronic. If you are in a country where it is legal to own a gun for home defence (not Britain for example) and a situation arises where you are justified in using it you don't want to have to be shooting out someone's kneecaps with .22s, you should be shooting to kill in order to save your own life.
