I'm not mad at anyone here , nor the poor owner of the Seattle Smoke shop, for responding to disgusting 11 + armed robbers in his downtown store at 2:30 , after they have gone to a city of compassionate community policing. I'm mad at such situations are now routine in a beautiful American City I used to enjoy visiting. But it certainly has given me and others pause for considering a 5 shot snub as a primary or even secondary carry. So as Jeff Cooper taught me about the J frame "derringer " as he referred to it has all become reality. Sure, it beats unarmed, but in a tactical situation, we are always going to want a lot more.
To put an end to the squabbling, if I had a long-term business in a City situation like that shop in Seatle, rather than waiting for the social workers to respond at 2:30 a.m. and having my financial future destroyed (you're dreaming about looted commodity shop owners compensated fairly by insurance for robberies these days), I would attempt to stop such things, and if armed felons threatened, I would be armed and trained to win! That would mean a high fire volume shouldered piece and at least one 15 or greater capacity pistol with a belt full of magazines for both arms. A deep concealed J-frame snub would also be nice under the body armor I'd be wearing with my MICH Helmet and light..

desperate times call for desperate measures.
