In another realm, some professional level folks were discussing carrying a J frame. They acknowledge the problem of limited capacity and that the gun is basically an one opponent gun. Avoidance of trouble is a mantra to live by. However, one had a funny take:
Now the other day, I shot a 32 round, 16 target USPSA stage. Quite fun. Want to try that against 16 real opponents with firearms - or who could charge you, no thanks.
I will draw my weapon when my life or that of a loved is in danger AND I think the weapon is the best solution. If fleeing or handing over the wallet is a better bet, that's it.
In another thread, someone pointed to Grandpa Pug who was pointing a NAA 22 Pug at demonstrators, some of whom had modern sporting rifles (LOL). It was claimed that they were deterred. Not hardly as the video shows at least one chambering a round until cooler heads had the group move on and the spouse took Grandpa Pug inside. Did Grandpa Pug think about his weapon's capacity, his capacity or even think this through. Probably not. He might have just waved at the group or gone inside.
J frames keeps me from doing stupid stuff.
