I carried one as a deputy sheriff during a hostage situation. I gave my 45 ACP to the chief deputy who responded to the scene unarmed. I had my 3" S&W 66 somewhere you don't show in public but carried it with me to the back door. As luck would have it, the armed hostage taker emerged from that door. Half a dozen guys armed to the teeth at the front door and me alone at the back. I was standing in the shadows and he didn't see me. Luckily, a relative talked the guy into surrendering. I didn't feel under-armed any time I had a .357 Magnum with me. They make a great night light for just a second when fired and hearing protection is a great idea too!
