Someone I know is getting a carry permit soon (I do spread the word!) and she won't carry if it's at all inconvenient. She's slide-racking challenged and wants small and light. The smallest S&W .38 snubbies are too fat so I'm left with ultra-tiny DA Iver Johnson/H&R 32s from 1910 or the Bobcat/Tomcat, which have the tip-up feature.
I'm very familiar with old 32s but completely ignorant regarding these little Berettas. Do they function reliably? Can the Bobcat handle hypervelocity stuff every now and then?
I know these are not powerful calibers but they're way better than nothing. She loves the Model 10 so there's a good chance that she'll upsize in the future but, right now, as a newbie, she doesn't want to compromise her wardrobe much. Thus, my search for something simple and pocketable.
Thanks for any info.
