Ok times are getting hard and i believe that every house hold should have a gun to protect their own with, especially with things such as NDAA in effect and Laws threatening our right to own guns, however im rather poor, not starving or homeless poor, but the kind where you just do get by. meaning i rarely have any extra money after bills, well i lucked up and found a bryco model 38 .380 i've heard many many bad things about this gun from other forums and youtube reviews, i havnt had the chance to test it for myself as i just got it today and havnt purchased any ammo for it yet, im plan to clean and lube the gun before firing it and ive been told fmj are the best bet for this gun, is there anything i can do to make it more reliable? Dont bash on me please i dont have the money for a better pistol the only other gun i have is a 60 year old 16 gauge double barrel and the stock is broken and in need of repair, it was passed down to me. I got the bryco for $40. and i understand that it is a horrible gun to have but i would rather have a gun that might not shoot then no gun at all
