And the main issue is: Why or why not carry a mini auto? And if you oppose mini autos, at what point is an auto so small that it's "useless" and should be replaced by a wheel gun?
So everyone thus far thinks mini autos have a place in the world and shouldn't be replaced by a revolver?
Sorry I have taken so long to post on this thread, as I feel like I have been one of those who stirred the sheet, so to speak.
My feeling in reference to pocket guns is that revolvers do a better job of giving me more than one shot from the pocket.
Semi automatics will fire from the pocket on the first go round, but I feel like they stand a good chance of a malfunction before the second round can be fired.
My rule of thumb is that anyone or anything worth shooting once is worth shooting twice.
With that in mind, I give the revolver the nod for a pocket gun.
Mine is a Smith model 38, airweight bodyguard. I practice with non plus P loads and carry plus P for social issues. I shoot it well enough out to 25 yards and count it the baseline for myself.
