the question is not...

...can I hit him (yes I can) but "can I hit him before he makes Swiss Cheese out of me? and the answer is probably no.

It is a given that a rifle against a handgun is roughly equivalent to a handgun againt a knife. That is, the rifle is going to outperform the handgun as the handgun would outperform a knife. It is possible, of course, for a man with a knife to kill someone with a gun, but it is highly unlikely.

The odds are against you and it has nothing to do with snubbie versus pistol. It has to do with the rifle shooting AT you.
