Anything that goes bang is better than fingernails.
However, there are small pocket pistols in self defense worthy calibers.
The .38 spl +P is a good one and there are very small 9mm pistols.
The bad part is the smaller ones are harder to shoot well. They have a lot less weight and sight radius than full size handguns.
The key is practice, although, they aren't that much fun to practice with either.
