Ok kids, I've been playing SR since the 1st Ed and sinces then Hold Outs have been almost a joke, that thing in your ankle holster for when all else fails, and it it's always found when you're risked, or under the men's formal wear or in a ladie's bag, but unless loaded with fletchettes, or you've got really high rolls, it's pretty much useless against in the stock boys at Stuffer Shack.
BUT on S&W's RL web sight, they are currently advertising a .32 magnum with a weight of just 14 oz. Now I don't think it would be terribly accurate and the recoil would be, imposing, and at more than $400 it is comperable in cost to heavy pistolsbut that certainly counts as a powerful hold out. I wondered if anyone here had come up with similarly potent hold outs? |
