Some of us live where there is a good chance of being confronted with a 6'-4" Samoan wearing a winter coat, though PCP doesn't seem to be much of an issue.

I think most rational people realize there is a minimum amount of penetration required to reliable hit the vitals. Also most rational people realize the 22rf, 25 acp, 32 acp and 380 just don't have enough power to reliable achieve that goal in real world situations.

If you're going to sneak up and slip one behind the ear, then those rounds are fine. But that use doesn't fall under a typical DLP shooting, in fact it would most likely be considered murder.


Beg to differ. Ball from a 380 is quite deadly and capable of punching the spine and large vessels alongside it, on frontal shots.
