I've come to think of a revolver such as a five shot airweight J-frame as the equivalent of a derringer in times past. I know a fellow that has a Smith 442 Pro. This is the kind that takes clips. (Please don't tell me that semi-autos take clips) He has a set of Barami grips on it' These are the grips that allow you to slip the resolver into your trousers and the lip on the right grip keeps the revolver from slipping. He keeps two speedloaders as backup. Keeps 158 gr lead semi-wadcutters in the revolver and the speed loaders. These pack a pretty good punch. Ended the Miami shootout. The clips on a small 38 are good to keep in the revolver but inserting clips in a small J-frame is nowhere near the same as a 45acp into a 1917 or 625, The speedloaders are much easier on a reload. Very concealable and has a moderate punch. While I've seen him punch holes in a QIT 99 target at fifty yards, this is really a defensive handgun.
