So I got it into my head that maybe I should seek a little bit more training with handguns. I looked into some schools and at one of them, I saw a claim that they offer "tactical training" for "real world" scenarios.
Sounds good, right?
Then there was this: No pocket guns and they don't recommend revolvers.
Now I don't know about your neck of the woods, but around here, the people who carry concealed carry pocket guns: Kel-Tecs, Kahrs, Rugers, and the various J-frames and clones. Hardly anybody strolls around carrying a full-sized or medium-sized Glock or 1911.
That's the real world. That's what people are toting. Not offering training in them seems kind of, well, moronic.
Look, maybe they don't want to build a full 300 round course around those guns. A LCR is no fun to shoot very much, even with standard-pressure ammunition. But they ought to think about offering something.

Perhaps we need the Darkover Compact...
The Darkover Compact, as I understand it, tacitly assumes that each party will have equivalent physical characteristics.
Doesn't work so well when the aggressor party is male, in good shape and in his late teens or twenties and the defending party is old or female.
Real Operators carry Real Guns. If it isn't a .45, it needs 15 rounds.
(I don't think I've ever carried a Real Operator's gun...)
"Real Operators" used to work for The Bell System.
