Many mouse guns or “get off me” guns are available in the market, and its perfect for concealment.

Maybe not but like it or not, these little nostril guns play a roll as a secondary backup.
Many gun gurus talk of using these GOM guns for “dynamic cover.” Its simply returning gunfire to get the bad guy to stop an attack just enough for you to escape.
Another tactic is when your primary gun is out of commission and out of ammo and using the .22 as a tactical retreat. Its understood that the .22 is not going to be used for standing your ground.
Accuracy is not a huge priority for “GOM” guns, due to the nature of its use at close quarter. Utilizing these mouses will be at arms range or even closer if we’re wrestling.

Beretta comes back with a revamped Model 21A (Bobcat) in both .25 ACP and .22lr. This double action trigger made is easy to draw and fire from the pocket instead of having to cock the hammer on the 950. Longer grip frame made it more comfortable to shoot.
