The idea was something small enough and light enough that it could be carried from Good Morning to Night Night. My son uses me like a jungle gym or couch depending upon his mood so trigger guard coverage was required. The 43c was considerably cheaper than hunting down a 342 and offered 3 extra shots of inexpensive, near zero recoil, 22LR.
