[QUOTE="CBnL, post: 847970, member: 6417"] Some might say the little snub nose revolvers aren't good at a distance but I saw a trick shooter (can't remember his name) hit a balloon at 100 yards with one once on a show on the history channel. The air light titanium you can put in a front pocket of a pair of slacks and (on me) it can't be seen. The full stainless version (as shown in this thread) is far more comfortable to shoot than any of the ~lite~ versions. To add something to the mix here... Walther P99cAS Advantages I see are that it holds 10 rounds in the magazine and with the trigger guard extending more forward than on most pistols, it has it riding higher in a holster resulting in less effort to ~draw~. (quicker to target) It is a pin fire gun (double action) and has a decocker. Other then the fact that it is an automatic, it is real close to one of the little snub nose S&W's. Compact, light, not much of anything to snag on any clothing (etc...) and you just draw and pull the trigger. Well, one difference... the revolvers can be in a purse/pack and one can get off all 5 rounds without pulling it out... with a semi-auto... odds are it will jam after a single round if in a close environment where it can't cycle cleanly. Also consider... someone on top of you... you pull the gun... the bad guy just grabs the cylinder of the revolver... you won't be able to pull the trigger and fire but with the compact auto, you'll at least get off one round. So there are good points and bad points to all. [/QUOTE]
