We all know a snub-nose revolver would carry well in a coat pocket.
Let's say you are holding a S&W 642 in your pocket as you walk along & a bad guy jumps out and begins advancing quickly towards you with evil intent. Is it safe--to you--to fire your snubbie from within your pocket? In some pictures I've seen, the muzzle blast (and "back blast" around the front of the cylinder) is quite substantial. Of course, if there is no time, then one must do what has to be done. Seems it would at least cause major damage to your coat.
I'm just trying to increase my tactical knowledge. Anyone else have any comments on this? Has anyone ever done this?
