Sorry, but in my mind, 380 doesn't have enough power for my liking. If/when I'm defending myself or my family, I'm carrying something with allot of knockdown power. I have a sawed off 12ga. here at the house....
I will not carry any caliber under a .40. My choice is a .45 Colt, .40 Colt Defender, .44mag S&W, .41mag S&W......
If harms way is headed toward me, I'd want to put them in a bodybag. PERIOD!!!
If I seem a bit harsh, being a paramedic in the big city of Baltimore has made me that way, by being exposed to the criminal's ways of thinking & seeing what they will do to other folks.....They want, what you have and don't care about a bit about you as a person nor your family.
I'll do what I have to do to stop them as quickly as I can........Don't send a boy to do a man's job.....
