Would you feel undergunned carrying a snub nose .38 special?

As a plainclothesman, cop or citizen, would you feel undergunned with a .38 snub?

While I would fell safe having a revolver as my primary carry gun, most of the time I grab my Glock 30. There is just something to be said for having 10+1 rounds of .45ACP.

Now, the times when I can't have a gun, I would much prefer a 5-6 shot .38 special over a .380ACP or less caliber gun.

How does that one member's tagline go? Something about "Rule 1: Bring a gun. Rule 2: Bring the most gun you can."
I had to sell my old Gubmint Model years ago, and right now the only semi-autos I have are a couple of rifles. But even when I did carry the 1911A1 and all those magazines, my Detective Special almost always went along with it, in an ankle holster. ("The fastest 'reload' is an already-loaded second gun.")
When necessary, I did/do carry the snubnose by itself, and it'll probably be the backup for my Python (or anything else) if/when I go back into LE. I'd like to have a high-capacity auto available at all times, but sometimes the snubbie is "the most gun you can bring."

Note to Brian Williams: Thanks for that tip about the stobor. (I Googled it, and learned something new today. ;) )
 
Kind of a silly question....
cuz...sure? id rather carry around a minigun with 2000 rounds belt fed from my backpack....
then, i might still feel undergunned and want my car to have a turret with armor plating.
Did I mention that i would love to carry around a grenade launcher? Never know when you might need it....

The reality is, If size and weight were not an issue.....
It all comes back to the RULE
"THE FIRST RULE OF A GUNFIGHT IS BRING A GUN"
will i have the minigun?
or the snubbie....:)
