I am behind the sentiments/intentions of this gun.
However, I wonder how many Indian women can afford a gun that costs the equivalent of $2000 US?
Seems to me that very few Indian women will be able to afford such a gun. Rape is supposedly a huge problem in the country.
Although simple and robust enough in this smallish package for cartridges in the 22lr, 32 and 38 S&W range, the top break design is not what I would have picked for them. A revolver, yes, a Webley, not really. Note the cartridge probably does not generate enough pressure to warrant a solid frame, in it's defense.
I think a solid frame swing out cylinder 38 Special design would be more effective, and would have been less bulky, since purse carry was mentioned in the article.
