I use to carry one every day and after my health became better I went back to my 1911 for most days. Yesterday I didn't feel well so when I got dressed for church I grabbed my S&W 442 with two speed strips.
Thanks in advance for the input and advice.
I don't know who the "operators" are that can determine what is best for everyone to carry, but i would have no problem carrying one, and am in fact looking at several options for just such occasions, when I don't want to carry my full size M&P.
The only drawbacks to a snubbie, that I could envision, are low round count, and diminished accuracy at distance. Neither of those would dissuade me, since, any SD situation, I would likely encounter, won't involve great distances, and if I need more than five rounds, I probably would not be able to defend myself even with more rounds.
