And I know a couple of people who have been in gunfights with "fighting pistols" (Uhm... ok, whatever), and lose.
I also stated;

It is hard enough with a fighting pistol.
No need to take what I said out of context, we agree on that point.

Rifles are iffy too..........

I always carry a gun. I can shoot it.
Even though it's not a cannon, I figure I'm way ahead of people who don't carry one.
I never considered a 9mm to be a cannon, but OK.

Some people are seriously creatures of habit. I bet Nanuk has been wearing the same brand of skivvies for the last fifty years too.

Kel-tec P32. Put over 2000 rounds thru the first one , have almost that many thru the second one. Both have run flawlessly with FMJ.

I have a lot of small guns, I have Freedom Arms 22LR in 1" barrel, 22Mag in 1" and 1 3/4" barrow. I have 2 Beretta 950 25ACP

My more favorite is the Freedom Arm 1 3/4" barrel 22Magnum. I chronograph them, it's a whopping 1300ft/sec. Even the 1" is 1100ft/secThis is NO JOKE for such a small little thing like 4oz, 4 shot. You carry two, it's 8 shot and still it's lighter than a single one of all the other you can name.

I know it's always bigger the better, but for self defense where you really are not looking for trouble, what's with you is the utmost important. You just don't conceal carry a big gun unless if you are law enforcement. The size really matter if you are using for insurance. Hey, it's better than a knife.

NOW, take note that NAA is NOTHING like it. I have a 3" 22Mag and the bullet speed is slightly slower than the 1" 22Mag Freedom Arm. The gap between the cylinder and barrel is wider than the Freedom Arm, I think that's the main reason.

I like the Ruger LCP also, too bad it's not selling in Kalifornia. And I don't want used ones.

They discontinued before 2000. Too bad. It's high quality.
