agreed that if pointed at me, Im taking it very seriously...would I want to be shot with one? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would I carry one? NOOOOOOO!!!! but I also agree that its better than nothing but with all the pocket .380's the .25 for a concealment gun has outlived its usefullness...way back a million years ago, working undercover I was issued a Beretta .25 I concealed in my boot or back pocket...I noticed a guy with a 9mm he was about to pull on me in an undercover sting...I got the .25 out first and convinced him to not touch his 9mm....lucky for me the backup guys got there real quickly.....the .25 misfired next time I took it to the range with the same bullet I had on the UC deal....not been much of a fan of them since.
