That's why I'm actually grateful every time I see a pistol from Jennings/Bryco/Lorcin/Raven, and more recently Cobra, the newest iteration of the unkillable Davis Industries monster. I see them in shops, pawnshops, shows, etc. I'm glad they're there, I'm glad they're so cheap, I'm glad the people who buy them buy them, they're likely to either be bangers themselves or to live in a situation where the gun will promptly be stolen by one. The bangers are going to be armed. If I have to face one, PLEASE GOD, let him be armed with a Bryco .25, and let him be holding it sideways.
Not to totally disparage .25, I have a Beretta 21A in .25 myself, I wanted a pocket BUG on the cheap and I got it for a song. I don't carry it anymore, I have a P32 for that duty now, but I still have and occasionally shoot the Beretta because it's fun & reliable, I like the innovative tip-up design, and it's the most accurate gun I've ever shot for short-range sightless point-shooting.
My favorite thing to see a gangsta do in the movies is hold a pistol not just sideways, but almost upside down, held high over his head, pointing down at his target. I love that. I hope if I am ever in a bad situation the perp takes his cue from such movies. That way I'm guaranteed my shots won't get held up by his gun arm on their way to COM.
