Pocket pistols and personal defense

Paul Markel over at Shooting Illustrated takes a look at this subject and talks about the recent pocket pistols class at Gunsite. The idea being that you really do need to practice, practice, practice with that mousegun and not just buy one and put it in your pocket. You (or your wife/girlfriend) need to actually become proficient just in case shit actually does start hitting the fan.

A  veteran firearms instructor once opined that American shooters, “like to talk .45s, shoot 9 mm and carry .38s.”
