And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Walther Model 1 (2nd Variant) 6.35mm self-loading pistol
That's right! Supposedly the little .25's and .32acp's are more deadly than you'd think. According to rumor, they tend to ricochet around inside rather than punch through, causing more damage.
I have a handful of little semi's in that vein. .22short a few .25ACP. Nothing I'd ever carry but fun little range toys.
In the day folks were serious about carrying pistols like that. They were commonly called "vest pocket" guns. One Bernardelli I own has VP as it's model name.
My grandfather used to run a General Store up in N. California, and he carried one of those in his coat pocket when taking the store's proceeds to the bank.
He only had to pull it out once, and the would-be robber wet himself running away. Nice little gun, I wish I had it now!
Nice "pocket pistol". I had a .25 cal. Colt semi I use to slip into the front pocket of my jeans. Better than nada!

Fun is reloading those little 25 cal cases.
