State Licensed Private Investigator
by German Vanegas
(Houston, Texas)
I absolutely concur with your personal assessment. I am a state licensed private investigator and bearer of a state concealed handgun permit, therefore, I lawfully carry a pistol while conducting my business.
After several "try-outs" I settled for the Glock model 22 in .40 caliber. I also own, and occasionally carry, a Glock 21 in .45 caliber (13+1!) when I wear business or sport coats.
Small pistols are a compromise to full cartridge power. Those "baby" pistols may be "cute" but that does not "cut it." It's not about looks really. Some of those small pistols may even have been "nice looking"... if only "looks could kill!"
NOTE FROM THE WEBMASTER: This is an assessment by a private investigator that is worth printing because of the reality of more bullet being more effective. This does not, however, mean that small pocket guns have no place in civilian concealed carry. Indeed, for some people small guns are the only option if they are to be able to carry a gun at all. Mark
