Guns for self defense part Two
Chief, atctually what I am looking for is a very small .22 either single shot or derringer but no autos. The earlier Walthers are just way too valuable to use as a daily beater and I do not believe in autos smaller than .380. The Smith Chief special (model 29) is a very stout gun and not at all what I would consider concealed carry but that is very subjective. I had one in 357. about 30 oz. very comfortable to shoot, no need to put 38's in that one unless you just want to save $ on ammo. I already have a smith 360PD Ti Hi Vis with laser grips in 38+p. Let me tell ya friend, Its a beast and a half. At 15oz when you light her up with +P's you WILL feel the power. . Even with mild target loads it is painfull. The weight is nice but I am after something for the summer that is a little easier to conceal. The lady smiths dont offer mutch other than a smaller grip. I might look at smith revolvers in 22 but I doubt they will be much smaller than the 38.

Now your getting closer. Just add a safety and a serial #. Something thike the smith .22 in a single shot so we can dispense with the cylinder, or like I said A double barrel derringer with 1 7/8" barrels. The american Derringer is too bulky.

High standard made a very compact 2 bbl derringer about 20 years ago in 22LR & Mag.
Several of my compatriots carried them as last ditch back-ups. It had a unique double action trigger that auto-rotated between the barrels.
Check Guns America, they have several listed (with pics) at good prices. This is exactly what you want.

Doc, summer does present a problem for concealment. I normally carry an H&K USP .40 which is an awesome handgun but hard to hide in shorts and tank top. I have an AMC back-up .380 which is small and light enough to put in your pocket, it does not have sights or hammer to get caught in your pocket. I also have a wallet holster for it which fits just like a wallet in your back pocket.

I am not familiar with AMC. Do they have a web site ? Tracer, The colts are VERY nice but getting pricy and hard to find. I am looking and I have a couple of inquiries out on the 22 Mark mentioned.
