Weapon of choice
llamas
I've sat on my hands while the discussion of suitable weapons has been going on as I'm no expert in this field.
My military training was to proficiency standard with the S&W 38 a long time back, & I feel that from the point of view of reliability & simplicity your suggestion has my vote.
A lot of talk has gone on about recurrent training to maintain proficiency if pilots are armed ! For weapons professionals ,viz., law enforcement agents ,I have no doubt this is the case. But to be able to hit the center of mass of a hijacker at a few feet I doubt this is necessary.
If you can handle the weapon safely & hit a bull in the ass with a bucket of wheat that's all the accuracy you need to deter hijack attempts.
