[Lohman446]

Drum, I actually have a failed Kel-tec sitting in my safe. That being said Kel-tec would fix it if I bothered to send it back.

As Drum has eluded to.... sometimes people get too "excited" about there primary carry gun. I have a Kimber Pro Carry (IIRC) sitting in the safe. Great gun, will do everything a Kimber is supposed to. That being said I one time "wiped" off the safety while carrying, and have not carried it yet.

If you are firing in a self defense situation past 7 yards its going to be highly questioned if it was a true self defense situation. As Drum has pointed out there are a lot of guns that are plenty of gun for this situation, and will serve you well.

380, 9mm, 45, 357, 38, 40, 10MM MAYBE the 32 if you want to stretch it are all underpowered but "good enough" for what you are going to be doing. It is unlikely that any of them are going to instantly stopped a determined and chemically enhanced attacker. Find a gun you are comfortable with, that rides comfortably when you carry it and you have confidence in. Then use your mind to stay out of bad situations. The fact of the matter is if you have to draw your weapon as a civilian you have already failed at the first line of defense, and several others.
