Get enough data, with enough detailed information and you might be able to see trends and possibly link them to the firearm itself.
Sample size of 1 is basically a sample size of zero.
First rule of using a gun to defend yourself is actually have a gun. A J-frame is so easy to CC even the laziest person can pick it up, slip it in a pocket and head out the door. If it's hot you can still conceal a J frame. So rather than ask yourself is the j frame going to get me killed, as your self: Am I going to be dedicated to carrying anything else 365 days a year. Ill take the J frame over nothing. Then again, i'd take the j-frame over a lot of larger guns too.
Also, I'm not sure why you bring up the post about the NYC cop. Seems out of place.
