I've been watching a few new videos on Youtube about different peoples ideas of what their perfect packing pistol is. What annoys me is almost every gun shown doesn't even qualify as a PPP if you use John Taffin's original definition of a relatively light weight handgun chambered in a sufficiently powerful cartridge for any task at hand with a 4" to 51/2" barrel. Adjustable sights are preferred but not mandatory.
I think people are missing the point of the PPP and confusing it with a CCW handgun. A PPP is basically a field/working gun meant to be carried openly on a belt or possibly in a chest/shoulder rig. A Ruger LCP or a S&W J frame just don't fit the bill.
So my question is dose your perfect packing pistol actually fit the definition of a perfect packing pistol?
