Griff, take a look at a Seecamp .32...a little heavier but has R9 quality...you will like it and it is built to be effective and beautiful as well. At 2 to 4 yards the action in a combat situation would be pretty much rapid point and shoot which is why the Seecamp has no front sight. At that range shot placement, which up close and personal may depend more on practice than sight placement, is likely to be as much or more important than caliber. Having never been in that exact situation, I would certainly defer to the more experienced opinion of one of our LEO's or combat vets on that issue. Nevertheless, I personally carry a 9 or larger except where clothing or circumstance requires the smaller piece.Thank's John. I have looked at the Seecamp. It is a beauty, and remarkably similar to the Rohrbaugh.

I used to carry this LWS-32 as a BUG -- until my beloved little wife "requisitioned" it as her own. At least I get to clean it after her range sessions. :-\(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/RichardS/Seecamp-1.jpg)[/quote
Looking good Richard :)
