.32 acp

Well, I carried a .32 (7,65) Walther PPK as my back-up pistol for over 20 years as a cop on the street. Sometimes it was my primary pistol stuck in a pocket in plain clothing when concealment was the main issue and a "police" gun was not a smart choice for primary armament. Actually, the PPK was/is an Eagle/C, so it was a WWII issue Polizei Pistole-kurz but the bad guys never knew the irony of that nomenclature. Now that I am retired it still fits in my pocket when I don't want to wear a holster.

A trained person can stop a great big burly man with the swipe of a credit card if necessary. It is a poor workman who blames his tools. As Pipeman says, always bring a gun to a gunfight (or a knife fight for that matter) and one you are familiar with and know how to use properly.
