Sometimes all your going to be able to carry is a 5 shot 38.
I believe its better to practice so you can hit anything you need to. Get your gun adjusted to shoot POA You may need to make a single action shot. Cant with a Glock but you can with a SW360. You should have a small stun gun with you for when you cant draw. Always carry a knife too. Remember cops dont always know who the bad guys are you do.
