I have a fair amount of experience with carrying small guns. They are very popular with people who have never really needed a gun badly and had to use one under such conditions.
Bullschit. Myself, and TLEE, for two as very readily apparent ones who disprove your BS theory.
On the other hand, those that have had such experiences strongly favor carrying something they shoot well at any range. Something with some weight and size.
Rule #1 is to have a gun. After that, everything is second.
If concealability is a concern, get a flat auto and carry it inside the waistband. Unless you plan to shoot through your pocket at an assailant, I'd skip the pocket carry idea.
Unless, of course, you can carry in the pocket far more easily than IWB, due to dress attire, location, etc. And, a small, flat semi-auto in the BACK pocket where...oh...I don't know... a WALLET would normally be presumed to be.... works wonders.
Sorry, I don't like carrying a heavy gun either at times. But I hate being in situations where I can't prevail with a gun alot more. E
Again, back to Rule #1.
