Also just remembered it only holds 5. And the barrel is 1.13". Single action only, with no trigger guard.

No way that's a resonable option unless you are severely limited on space. Pocket 380s like the kahr cw380 are just so dang small these days. And light.

I use the shooting "test" that the Louisiana legislature approved back when the CHP law was enacted:

12 shots at 6 feet
12 shots at 10 feet
12 shots at 15 feet

No time constraints. Target is a full-size NRA B-27 target. All bullet must hit the silhouette.

This is the sort of "test" anyone should be able to shoot with his/her eyes closed. I don't even call it a "test" in my classes -- I refer to it as a "shooting exercise."

Most students place all 36 shots in a 2"-5" group. Others spray their shots all over the target like shotgun pellets.

In my last class I had two students who almost failed (shots hit within 1/2 of the border of the silhouette), and one who did fail (missed the entire target).

Do I wish that the test was structured with a higher degree of difficulty? Maybe -- maybe not.

I know that some legislators argued for a test that "their mothers could pass." It's hard to argue with this, knowing, as Clames stated, that very often an attacker will stop as soon as he/she sees a gun pulled in self-defense.

Ideally everyone would be "really competent"
(whatever that is). I just wouldn't want to be the one who had to decide what that standard should be.
