In my opinion. there are just too many really good, small 9mm platforms available these days that are not much bigger/heavier than available 380 platforms. So I carry 9mm or 38+P at a minimum.
YMMV...

YMMV... what 9 or 38 is as small or light as a Keltec 3AT ? I said "not much bigger/heavier". But: a DB9 is .4" longer, .5" taller, .03" wider and less than 3 oz heavier. Taurus 709 Slim is the same height, .7 longer and less by .02 in width while weighing 1 oz more. Beretta Nano and SCCY CPX1 are roughly .5" taller and longer with similar width. The SCCY is full 1 inch wide but holds 10 rounds. I'll take the small trade-off in size and shoot 9mm vs 380. BUT as I also said, that's my opinion.

Me and yes. The .38 stopped him and the partners .357 ended His criminal career. This was in the dark ages before all the crunchinticker high cap pistols were the rage. We were only allowed Colt or S&W revolvers with a 4" bbl, period. Twelve extra rounds on our belt. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/TOOL_zpsfuhpvu1r.jpg) As you can see, I have served two departments in my time both in IL and FL.

i tried to find a version like in your picture couldn't find one.
of another version with brown leather more of a palm shape and rigid.

O.K.
Who has actually had to shoot someone? Did what you have work? Yes, and yes.

I like this. Every source that I read that goes down the path of 'what if you need more', when there will always be another scenario where there's one more guy than bullet.

And of course, there's only one thief at this station, everybody else is just trying to get their schit back.
