On my run today I came pretty close to being attacked by a dog. I carry a small can of pepper spray just for such a thing and gave him a dose. I've never had to do that before but was surprised how little it did. I got away unscathed but it scared the hell out of me. You should see the spike on my heart rate monitor.
Anyway, I think I want to carry a pocket auto but weight is a big issue. Every ounce matters. I'm looking at Bobo's pocket auto comparison chart and Kel-Tec and the Ruger come in the lightest. There is also a titanium Taurus that is light.
Kel-Tec .32 - 10oz loaded
Kel-Tec .380 - 11oz loaded
Ruger LCP .380 - 12oz loaded
Taurus 738 (Titanium) .380 - 11oz loaded
My questions are:
1. Does the Kel-Tec .32 provide enough punch? Remember my primary concerns are large dogs.
2. Are these guns fine getting a little wet every day? Not soaked just damp from sweat and splashed water.
Please let me know your opinions.
Thanks.
