This is not a range gun, it is not fun to shoot, and it is not meant to be used out beyond 7-15 yards at the most. That said, it does drop into a good pocket holster and disappear. One could pretty much carry this thing anywhere, anytime, and under any circumstances. While the recoil is punishing to the web of your hand, that would be the last thing you would be thinking about if you needed to use a gun as a defensive tool. I carry mine in a high noon holster "pocket reload" and never feel like I am going to get made, so the unstable grip and rather sharp recoil are well made up for by the fact that I often forget it is in my pocket due to the fact that it weighs less than the spare change you have been dragging around for a week. If this was my only carry gun, I would do everything possible to avoid a conflict, but as ccw goes, if all other options have been expended, this would get the job done. Just get a good holster, as a ccw without a round in the chamber is also known as a rock, and there is no safty at all, other than making sure the trigger is covered. For this reason, but the gun and holster as a package, and get some good ammo and make sure it feeds well. Also the most important thing is to clean up the inside of the gun and polish the feedramp before use. The factory does not get the filings and solvents out of the gun before they ship it. This takes less than an hour and will make a much more reliable gun.
