I laughed out loud when I read this because I own a 1911 and a .25. There are days where I just "run out" and grab the .25 because I am ALWAYS armed. When I grab the .25 I always think (this will be the day that something happens and I'll have THIS pea shooter). in all fairness, the 1911 is on me 99% of the time.
I'm right there with ya. I've got a .40 and a .45, both of which I've spent a lot of time and money selecting/purchasing, practicing with, choosing just the right defensive ammo for, accumulating holsters and spare magazines for . . . and if/when I need a gun, I'll probably have my little .22 Mag mini-revolver.
