![]() ![]() I’d like to keep this thread on topic if we can, so to everybody ELSE that feels the need to explain to me that bigger guns are more effective, I GET IT ALREADY. I replace them on general principle because that cheap piece of crap they come from the factory with just doesn’t look right and the solid steel ones, I think, give a cleaner trigger. I replaced the sears with steel ones I got from Brownells about a week after I ordered. Well, I have three of them and haven’t had any trouble yet, but hey, it could happen. I finally got it repaired and promptly sold it.” When the sear in my wife's broke, it took months to get the part, because Colt couldn't make them fast enough to supply gunsmith's requirements. So, you’re really not interested in my original question, are you? 45 is fine with a holster, and nothing larger than a P32 works in a pocket, I see no point in defensive pistols between the two in size, and no longer have any. As far as “plan A” is concerned, I don’t know anyone who is that good a shot, and certainly not me. In fact, in suit pants it just about disappears in my Kramer pocket holster.

I’m sorry, but your “plan” is to be able to hit someone in the eye socket with a pocket pistol during a fight? You need a new plan. “One should probably plan on having to use an ocular cavity shot with the smaller cartridges. From a Colt Mustang, do hollow points offer anything at all over ball? And far more important is bullet placement.” The less powerful the cartridge, the more important bullet performance becomes. “Pistols are under powered for the purpose of stopping a deadly threat.
