Au Contraire, Good Doctor.

If you bring a small weapon to a gunfight, take Jeff Cooper's advice and SHOOT FIRST!!!

Generally, even a .22LR from a half-decent handgun will make a large impression on your opponent--disorientation follows, and the fight is over.

I'll stick with my mucho quick H&K 9mm, 147g's of JHP.

The best gun for self defense is the one you'll actually carry. A hand canon is useless in the safe at home.

My first carry piece was a used Kel Tec P-11 9mm, good, light, reliable cheap, great capacity for a little gun.

I'm looking at the new Kel Tec P3AT .380 to carry when I "can't" carry.

CCI makes an awesome .22cal magnum, the "stinger".
