"Brain picking"

If you have to carry a hand gun in defense of your life, chances are very good that it will occur within 10-15 feet and at that range sights and the time to use them becomes moot. Beyond that range (10 yards is a looong way for anything other than a serious handgun marksman, beyond the ability of the average gangbanger...but he could get lucky), unless you are confronted by multiple thugs other options present themselves (there is no dishonor in taking evasive action). Any reliable handgun that can be brought to bear for serious social work is better than none at all.
