Reading the thread that asked which was better, 22lr or 25auto.
Most of the posts referred to "pocket" handguns.
It occurred to me that pocket handguns are usually very small and 38 or smaller. I am aware of the 357s.
The pocket handgun is generally used at arms length or not much farther. Then it occurred to me that if you are at arms length, how do you draw? I have never felt that i could present the handgun in sufficient time.
On the other hand, if the BG was, say, twenty yards away and coming at you, when would you start shooting(lets say he has a handgun).
Point is, I never (now) pocket carry. I did a little. The gun is a nuisance. Pocket holster or not. I carry a lw Commader, appendix style. Button up or polo style shirt out of pants. I know I can draw.
