"Not for Self Defense"

Some fools are telling us a “pocket pistol” is not for self defense because it is difficult to hit a distant target with one of them. But that’s not a good reason to exclude them from your arsenal. Yes, they are not the BEST gun for self defense, but they are a good “back up” gun that can be used when you can’t get to your number one gun, and you recognize their limitations. They are DESIGNED for close-up use, and as a “last chance” measure. And if loaded with magnum ammo, can be quite devastating to an attacker who did not expect them to be there. Given a choice between a larger caliber gun and one of those “pocket pistols” for “first grab” use, I would choose the larger caliber every time. But there are often times when you lose track of your number one gun and are still under attack. And faced with the possibility of being murdered while I don’t have my regular gun handy, I’ll take it. You’d be surprised how effective this kind of gun can be when fired into the eye of an attacker who has his hands around your throat. (The Gun Feed)
