By way of introduction, I am a former police officer, now an attorney, and I wear a suit every day. Often I go to courts where I have to luck up my piece with the court officers or in my car.
These are my requirements
1) 100% reliable
2) concealble in a pocket holster or perhaps an ankle rig (I take off my coat at work, and can't be seen armed at the water cooler, or even a shoulder holster for that matter!)
3) sufficient stopping power
ok, I currently have a Glock 26 which may very well be the perfect choice, also I have a Beretta Model 21 (.22)
ideally I would love to carry the Beretta, because I love the light weight
HOWEVER, .22 is obviously not ideal, altough I believe that it would put down the perp (Hinckley ring a bell?), also, the Beretta is picky with ammo, and although I know it likes hot rounds it, it is still prone to jamming
the Glock is probably a great choice, although it is a little heavy in the pocket
anyhoo, let's hear what you have to say...
I am considering perhaps a Model 340PD Revolver (the lightest .357)
whatta ya'll think?
