Concealable Pocket Pistols: How to Choose and Use Small-Caliber Handguns

Small-caliber handguns are often maligned as too puny for serious self-defense, but millions of Americans own and carry these guns and have used them successfully to stop violent assaults. This is the first book ever devoted to eliminating the many misconceptions about the usefulness of these popular guns.

"Pocket pistols" are small, easily concealed, inexpensive semiautomatic handguns in.22,.25,.32, and.380 calibers. Their small size and hammerless design enable them to be easily concealed and carried so they are immediately accessible in an emergency.

Their purpose is not to knock an assailant off his feet with fire-breathing power (which no handgun is capable of doing) but simply to deter or stop his assault by putting firepower instantly in your hands.

Concealable Pocket Pistols addresses every aspect of owning, carrying, and shooting small-caliber handguns in a realistic manner. It cuts right to the chase and recommends a handful of the best pistols on the market today as well as the best ammunition for them. It then gets into the real-world issues of how to carry a concealed pocket pistol, how to shoot it under stress, and how to deal with malfunctions quickly and efficiently.

In an emergency, a small-caliber pistol in the pocket is better than the.357 Magnum left at home. Find out what millions of Americans already know about these practical self-defense tools.
