Actually Harry, I'd feel very fortunate to use a pisol against a human
assailant.

If a person does not possess the confidence to face an opponent empty
handed, that person needs training. There are many ways to kill or disable
an opponent bare handed. Those who must rely on a weapon just demonstrate
their own inadequacy, although, it DOES make it a hell of a lot easier. And
you don't have to get your hands dirty or your hair messed up.
