Several shots at close range will hurt. No matter what I carry I've decided that if I have to pull a trigger, I'm not going to pull it just once. Some famous people have been done in by .25s.

If I were going to pick out a new gun for it's small size, I'd rather go with the .32 which can send a 75 gr bullet at over 1000 fr/sec.

If you like velocity, a .22 LR out of a 3" barrel can send a 40 gr bullet out of a 3" barrel at over 1000 ft/sec, too.

But if I HAVE a .25 I wouldn't feel bad about carrying it as opposed to nothing.
