On the topic of mouse guns in general One of the first handguns I bought for my wife was one of them tip-up barrel Berettas ("Tomcat"??) in .22LR. I traded it off after I read just how very anemic the .22LR was out of a 1" barrel (or thereabouts).

Before I was married I knew a bona-fide biker chic ("hotter'n a two dollar pistol" grin) who kept her .25acp tucked in the front hollow of her hip between her blue jeans and her thong. She believed it was deadly, but then a lot of things about that woman was deadly,and in truth, mouse guns have killed people.

I gotta wonder though, what ballistics one gets out of the likes of a .45-70 out of a sub two-inch barrel, or even a .357 for that matter.
