Smaller Calibers

[Adam Helmer]

gold40,

I have a .32 Colt M1903 that gets CCW carried now and then. A small caliber is far better than no gun, in case of need.

Many bad guys look at a potential victim's body language. If they see confidence, and a bulge under the jacket or vest, they take their business elsewhere. In addition, in 95%+/- of the cases of confrontation, the mere presence of a firearm deters the bad guys. In few cases is there actually an exchange of gunfire, and if there is and you have a small caliber, shoot twice or three times, or empty the magazine center mass!
