useful to stop an attack by an individual who has the intention of putting me in a hospital for an extended period or six feet under and has the ability to do so.

In my opinion two .380 caliber rounds fired from what is effectively a derringer lacks the stopping power to be capable of accomplishing this purpose.



I prefer to carry a .38+P S&W Model 642 revolver in my pants pocket. It holds 5 rounds of significantly more powerful ammo and I can merely put my hand in my pocket and draw the revolver and it’s ready to fire. No fiddling around to turn it from something that looks like a phone to a weapon. Plus I can buy the Model 642 with laser sights for less than the Ideal Conceal.



Another factor is that if I am attacked it is quite possible that drawing a snub nosed revolver will deter my attacker and cause him to run away. That may not happen if I grab something that looks like a cell phone from my belt and point it at my attacker. I have no desire to ever have to shoot someone unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course I would never pull my weapon unless I thought the situation met those requirements. However if the attacker turned and ran before I could pull the trigger that would be fine with me.
