As far as a P238 not being the best carry weapon lets just say that I think everyone would prefer to have a P238 over nothing in a gun fight and they do make for a good backup gun. Judging by the barrel length of the handgun I am going to say it was most likely intended for use hunting which means that the words Magnum or Casull are likely to be in the name of the cartridge. Against the kind of weapons used by the suspects I would prefer to have a rifle, failing to have one of those I would opt for a shotgun, failing at that I would take what ever I could get and pray that I wouldn't have to use it. When you get right down to it Handguns really don't measure up as effective tools to stop somebody with in the here and now, going into a gun fight with a handgun is really on the "Avoid if possible" list for me. There's a number of reasons I carry a 1911 in .45 ACP as my primary, and there are also reasons why I have been known to carry a P238 as a BUG.
