Interesting thread. FWIW, recently my brother gave me a .32 ACP double deringer. This is not a gun I'd ever have bought for myself. But it's very small, light, and concealable, and, most of all, it's a gun.

A highly-trained LEO friend of mine has told me more than once that *any* gun is better than no gun, and I tend to believe him. So, the more I look at this .32 deringer, the more I can see carrying it either as a backup or when I can't carry anything larger. IOW, I don't see it as a preferred defense, but it might have a purpose when anything is better than nothing.
