SMALL VS LARGE CARRY GUNS
by: Anonymous

I agree that there is a place for the smaller carry guns. Even a .22 is better than a sharp word or a pointed stick. As I grow older I think more and more of an older friends comment: "I'm too young to die and too old to take a beating."
That becomes more true the older I become. However I'm afraid the smaller carries will not be so effective in preventing that staement from coming true.
Face it, a gunfight is about making the other party STOP WHAT HE/SHE IS DOING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Generally speaking that works out better with bigger bullets. Rifles and shotguns should be your first choice but failing that something beginning with .4 as its caliber is probably the best of what are ALL anemic pistol cartridges when compared to rifle or shotgun rounds. If you really have to exsanguinate someone (bleed him/her out) the faster it happens the less time they have to hurt you. That happens better with bigger holes.
Multiple small holes may work almost as well as single larger ones but not as well as multiple larger ones.Remember also that your opponent may have brought a friend and that's a heck of a time to run out of rounds because you needed all of yours to convince the first person to stop trying to hurt you. Use the biggest you can control and put the rounds where they will do the most good. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and pray it never happens.
