I carry on a regular basis, usually .45, sometimes .38 +P, and occasionally 9mm. One thing my Seecamp .32 does that my Springer, S&W, or Beretta can't do is fit in the pocket of a pair of gym shorts or sweats without needing cowhide to hold them up!!!! For example: my 2 year old runs out of milk/juice at 9pm. Great, now my wife "insists" that I run down to the grocery store 5 minutes away in the middle of the playoffs no less
. Since I'm already lounging in my trusty faded military issue sweats, I stash the Seecamp in my pocket and off I go. Granted, I live in a town where the probability of my being threatened is extremely low, however, it could happen. I am comfortable with my ability to utilize this tool if needed in the circumstances I accept as a possibility, however remote. If I were going "downtown" at 9pm, an entirely different approach would be in order. The bottom line is simple, they are very small, very concealable, and this
is a trade-off to small "power". As someone else mentioned though, it's my choice in circumstances I'm willing to accept. I carry different firearms for many different purposes and have a "laundry" list to decide what to carry and when. Hey, it works for me.
