Well...to my way of thinking, when a Mighty Mouse gun gets down to the size of the Ruger 380 the sights will be useless low light, high stress pistol combat situations. Seems like little pistols like that were intended for belly-to-belly work; slapping distance in dark alleys. I recall that during my time in Central America, pistoleros called that a “quema ropa” (laundry burner). Just put the muzzle in the target's chest and keep pulling the trigger until the shirt catches fire. Our school of thought teaches that every gun fight will occur within five yards, and to find the front sight and use it every time.

I just had a conversation with a friend of mine who survived a gunfight last year. Some thug tried to murder him in the commission of a robbery.

The entire fight was over in less than 4 seconds, and the longest distance between them was less than 5 feet.

It's made a pretty good case study at Quantico, btw. Both participants were armed with basically the same weapon; 7 shot .357 mag revolvers.

Mr. Bad Guy ended up dead, and my friend nearly so. If it weren't for the skill of some very talented EMS and Emergency Room personnel, he would be.

Where did Mr. Good Guy suffer such a wound you ask? Well the nearly fatal round entered his left arm about 3 inches above his elbow.

Mr. Bad Guy ended up dying from a self inflicted head shot. And that's AFTER he took 5 .357 Cor Bon rounds center mass, one of which transected his spine.

Pretty amazing.

quema ropa...LOL! Worked in South America for 10-years and never heard that one.
