The concept of a 'perfect packing pistol,' coined by John Taffin, generally refers to a reliable sidearm suitable for carrying while in the woods or engaging in outdoor activities. While Taffin's definition implies a balance of size, accuracy, and defensive capability, the discussion highlights that the ideal choice is highly personal and dependent on individual needs, environment, and emotional connection to a particular firearm. Ultimately, there is no single 'perfect' packing pistol, but rather a perfect packing pistol for a specific person and situation.
