On the topic of Jum Cirillo, one must remember that in the vast majority of his shootings, he knew he was going to a gunfight. He often carried and used a long gun, usually a 20ga SxS Stevens or M1 Carbine. He viewed the pistol as a backup, and carried several, coining the term "New York Reload,"
That's a very important point.
