i carried a Sig 238 for several months(loved the little gun) but, then one day i noticed how BIG some of the guys were that could become potential attackers....my thoughts were...how could this little gun stop that guy...he's huge..so I traded the little gun in.....and now carry either a Sig 239 in 40 or a S&W Chiefs Special in 38.....you need to just notice how physically large many people are...especially those whom you might consider threats....Just my thoughts...

You're taking a very realistic approach here.

When someone of the "better a little gun you carry than the big one left at home" school of thought tries to use one of the pea shooters to stop an attack by one of the folks you've been looking at, they run a severe risk of being educated on why trying to stop a big man with a little gun differs very little from not being armed at all. They'll also learn the hard way that the intimidation potential (discouragement factor) of these little guns is close to zero among the kind of folks they're most likely to need to use them against.

In a real fight, there's no little substitute for a big gun. It's a survival tool. The wise man makes the effort to dress around the gun rather than trying to gun around the dress.
