Snub nosed revolvers have been doing the job since the 1920s. I mostly carry a 5 shot S&W j-frame, because it is so easy and convenient. In the most common self-defense scenarios, in my neck of the woods, the snubbie is more than enough to get the job done. Will it be effective in all potential multiple attacker scenarios...of course not, but what handgun is? I believe in the old saying that a handgun is for when you're not expecting trouble and long guns (rifles or shotguns) are for when you are expecting trouble.
