I believe you were spot on in your assesment. That very situation is one reason I carry the sidearm that I do. The hammerless S&W 642 doesn't even have to come out of a coat pocket to start pumping rounds like a semiauto would. No hammer to grab material in the pocket and no slide to pinch material and jam.
Sounds awesome, but 5 rounds? I'll take my chances with my 23.
aint many folks that can take 5 38's and live to brag about it.
And there's always more and BIGGER firepower in the truck
Or 7 380's, I'm always carrying except on work premises, and then it's in the car. Soon as I get in it's like putting my seatbelt on, it the pocket it goes. Always got the 45 and extra rounds in the dash for extra support if needed.
