Concealed Carry Self Defence is about the only use for these little critters,
Better you trust your shoes to save your life than to stand your ground with an unreliable piece.
What is your life worth?
A very good point EKM what is your life worth to be messing with a pistol that will just piss off a violent criminal who may or may not be under the influence of some sort of violence inducing drugabout to do you in ? Best case scenario you kill him with one shot at very close range, chances are that wont happen which leads you to the worst case scenario. You wounded him/her and they sue you in a court of law.
At 15 yards I can hit the head target and actually hit where I aim. I fired 3 shots and had all shots touching.
Shoot a thug at 15 yards and you may go to Jail..most DA's expect a threat to ones life at a few yards max. Lets see you do that when he is a few feet from you with a Knife or gun in his hand.
As far as self defence goes I don't have to worry about that.
The countyI live in doesn't issue carry permit unless your peace or police officer, Or if your a friend of the judge [:@]. But for home protection I have my .45 so no worries there.
