One of the first uses of a firearm by a permit holder in Kentucky (we started issuing in 1996) was a fellow I have corresponded with who interupted a bank robbery using one of these.
He managed to hit one of the robbers in the throat with no immediate effect. However the robbers were caught later when they sought medical attention for the wounded one.
The fellow told me that he now knew two things he would never do again.
1. intefer with a bank robbery (the police treated him like he was a nuisance to society!)
2. Never be anywhere without a .45 on his person! (he had a larger handgun in his truck but carreid the mini revolver for coinvience - see the "comfortable vs comforting thread").
Onward and upward,
Jim
