I have a cell phone holster with double pouches. My phone rides in one and a Baby Browning rides in the other pouch. NO ONE has ever asked what is in the second phone pouch and it goes with me EVERYWHERE. My primary CC is a S&W Bodygurad and the little Browning is always there as a backup. I too have shot the .25 into jugs of water and I know for sure that I don't want to get hit with one. In my opionion the .25 certainly has a place as part of my personal defense and I'm going to continue carrying it.
