The 380 is a bigger and heavier gun than the .32. When I got my Guardian the Seecamp was a LOT more expensive (and like I said limited on the ammo it’d eat). The .32 in a pocket holster is the gun to have when you can’t have a gun. I sent mine back to NAA and had the custom shop do a gutter snipe tritium, sand blast finish and fish scales . Mine has flown all over the country with me for years before I retired.
^^^^^^^^^^100% this.
Carried a Beretta .25, Model 20 for years as a secondary backup. Very accurate at the 7 yard line. Very pocketable. Only been in one gunfight, while on duty and that was with a 5904. Feel that putting a .25 slug into the cranial cavity of an AH will slow him down. That is average thug. Someone hyped up, all I want is for the bullets to slow him down until it is knife time.
Trained a woman (SA victim) for her LTC, and ran into her years later, asked what she was carrying and she said it was an NAA mini revolver loaded with 22WMR snake shot (Did you learn NOTHING from my class?!?!) She said she didn't want to kill the next guy that put hands on her. She wanted him alive so he could feel the surgeons removing hundreds of pepper-granule-sized shot out of his nether regions, and will think about her every time he realizes he will never pitch another tent again.
Do you say Leh-zhur or Lee-zhur. I think Leh-zhur sounds more menacing. It does when I’m wearing my dinner jacket and my stainless PPK.
Depends on the accent which way sounds more ominous.
At 7 feet, shoot a 6inch ShootnSee target and imagine that is your face. Eyelids are not near as tough as plywood.
No but eyeglasses sure are. It would hurt, but it darn sure wouldn’t stop anyone that intended harm, and I wouldn’t count on getting hits it the eyes. And, even worse, if you DO happen to blind them, you win the fight but lose the war because the jury will hang you for blinding a poor thug just doing his job
. It’s your choice of course. Me, I’ll use something with a lot more beans. I remember reading Jeff Cooper talking about shooting with a .25. His advice “don’t ever shoot someone with a. .25, cause if you do they might notice. And if they notice, they may get mad, and if they get mad they just might hurt you”. An exaggeration for sure, but still, in any defensive use, your rationale for shooting is to stop the aggressor right NOW. I wouldn’t trust .22. Mag snake shot to deter a 20 lb dog intent on biting me.
snake shot no standard 22WMR is another ball game. then for snake i prefer 12G 7&1/2 for little ones and #5s for bigger ones. then if i'm on a mt. path with a green garden snake behind me and a bear if front, well bear makes great sausage.No but eyeglasses sure are.
