I am willing to excuse all of this including the five-round capacity because the gun is so lightweight and easy to carry in the pocket. The rubber stocks are good for hanging onto, but I would not call them comfortable. Then again, I am not sure that I will be sighting this gun down in a self-defense situation. The sights on this gun include a trench rear and blade front they are difficult to see and use. I shoot it because I carry it and because I will have it on me most of the time. It would be so much easier to just squeeze the trigger again and again if need be. I do not know if I will have that kind of time and ability in a self-defense situation. It just takes longer and requires more dexterity to activate a cylinder release, push out the cylinder, depress the rod that ejects the spent brass, turn the gun over, insert the new rounds from the speedloader, close the cylinder and be ready to resume firing. Moreover, I really do not want to have to reload the Off Duty in the heat of the moment. Some revolvers are six-shooters while some have seven or eight rounds, but few of those are the size and weight of the Off Duty.
Still, I simply wish it could hold more rounds. It will be enough to get me out of trouble, to get me to cover or to get to another gun. Depending on a few factors, most of the time I can put my hand in my pocket, get a grip on the gun and still draw it out quickly. Moreover, you can put this gun and holster combo in your pants pocket, jacket pocket, or in the larger pockets of cargo pants. The stocks sit plenty low and remain out of sight. This soft-sided holster drops into a pocket and stays there thanks to a band of rubbery material around the middle which creates friction between the pocket and the holster. Despite all the options available to me for concealed carry, the one I choose the most is pocket carry. I am more likely to carry a lightweight gun all day regardless of how I carry it. Sure, a lightweight gun has its drawbacks, but for a self-defense tool that will be carried a lot and shot very little, lightweight is more of an asset. I do not like the fact that it carries only five rounds, and I am on the fence about how well it shoots. I give the Off Duty high marks for its weight and the ability to holster it in a pocket. It does very well as a primary concealed carry gun for anyone wishing to carry something small, lightweight, reliable and effective. The Off Duty is a classic snub-nosed revolver. Their design has been around for a very long time. Snub-nosed revolvers are, in one sense, the original concealed carry handgun.
