17 short stories from author Dell Sweet in this collection.
... I had started with the gun after a friend of mine who worked for the PD and moonlighted as a private eye, small stuff, mostly process serving, had been ambushed by an angry husband he had been trying to serve divorce papers on. He'd been shot four times and had barely survived the hurried ambulance trip to the hospital emergency room. The PD career was done, and the private eye stuff too, although a few of us threw him a bone when we could: When he was sober. I decided I'd rather have something to show.

I had nearly bought a .44 caliber, but one test fire had convinced me to leave that for something smaller and hopefully non fatal. I know, I shouldn't really be concerned with that. After all, if I am going to have to use a gun to defend myself it should be capable of laying someone down. I just haven't been able to believe in it yet. I have flashed the .380 twice and ended violent confrontations right there. My ex-PD friends say don't pull it unless you mean to use it... Maybe... Someday...
