Hmm, a "compact" might be a Commander, but yeah a few smaller models exist. Kimber and Springfield both make little snubby ones. Probably a bunch of others too.

We were, but it seems we switched over to the MC at some point.
I blame the French. I'm sure they're somehow responsible.

If you really wanna get sexy about it. In the next mission prep have Foxy come struttin' out thinkin' she's gonna get away with packin' a .50 Desert Eagle. That could be some interesting dialogue... 
Pretty sure it was the Canooks...

Nah, the French heard there might be a dispute and surrendered already (they're just standing around with their hands up waiting for someone to show up). Austria maybe. They always seem to start shit.

They DO come in a French flavor...

She'd need one of the gaudy gold plated ones for extra effect.If you really wanna get sexy about it. In the next mission prep have Foxy come struttin' out thinkin' she's gonna get away with packin' a .50 Desert Eagle. That could be some interesting dialogue...
"Foxy, that thing weighs more than you do. Can you even reach the trigger?"
Either way, I don't know if it would end well.
I'm honestly not sure how that woman managed that unless it was her first time shooting a handgun, period. Actually now that I think about it, it may well have been. The guy must have anticipated this kind of thing which is why he only loaded 1 round.

She looks like she's not much bigger than foxy. I'm actually surprised she could hang on to it through the recoil at all!They DO come in a French flavor...

They don't call them hand cannons for nothing...

Eh, the recoil on the eagle isn't that bad to be honest. LOTS of muzzle flash, though. But yeah, it's really not a beginner gun. Or a poor person gun.
*Bang!*
"There goes $5"
*Bang!*
"There's another $5..."

Haha, tell that to the girl in the video. You're right about the recoil, but it's a very large pistol with a large hand grip and distance to the trigger. Itty bitty girls don't have much of a grip on it to start with...
You're right about the price of ammo too, and not just .50 cal. That's why I learned to reload almost 40 years ago. I've still got so many people who bring me their brass that I pretty much have as much ammo as I need, and don't pay for any of it.

man tell me about it. I like shooting but the only place I can do it legally is the gun ranges where I live... the prices are outrageous. And actually owning a firearm is really complicated

Yep, but never give it up, man! Buy yourself a simple reloading kit. They aren't that expensive. There are all kinds of great vids on how to reload. Save your brass and learn to reload. You'll find yourself shooting more and spending a LOT less.man tell me about it. I like shooting but the only place I can do it legally is the gun ranges where I live... the prices are outrageous.

if I owned one sure... but as I said, in my country they are heavily regulated. If you're not a cop or a hunter etc chances are you're not getting a license to carry one. I did a mandatory military stint in my youth and did sports shooting competitively in school, so I'm no stranger to guns, but that was decades ago. These days my only option is gun ranges as I said with rented guns etc.

Wow, that's sobering. It's too easy to forget how precious the 2nd amendment is in the US. It's also too easy to forget that most everybody else doesn't have that...

I sure do miss shooting at shit, been like more than a year since I last went to a range to blow off some steam
I wish it was more affordable, but you know... adulting and shit.

Ah yes, the 2nd amendment. I wish we had that here in the Un-United Socialist Soviet Republic of Cana-Duh-Stan.
Speaking of :
"Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.
Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle.
Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot.
Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog.
I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.
Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.
Just as the founding fathers intended."

Most places are not that bad. In Canada just about anyone can get a gun, some of the types are regulated and there's more paperwork but we have roughly 1 (civilian) gun per person. It's a country with a population the size of California's and a land mass 133% the size of the entire US. In most of the country people go armed - just not in urban areas, or at least they're not supposed to. There's some country in Europe, don't remember where - where the entire population has military weapons. Mandatory service, and then basically the entire country is the reserves and takes their weapons home with them (+ annual training) but their murder rate is almost zero.

Switzerland. Possibly others as well.
And as for Canada...ehh....some of what you're saying there is up for debate, but I don't want to get too off topic (again, sorry EFT
