I believe while interesting, the issue of which gun to carry plays a much smaller role than just having a gun to pull when needed. If you have to pull a .380 on an aggressor, do you really believe they'll look at it and think, "I can take 3 or 4 hits from that pop-gun, no problem", and will continue the attack? Or will they think, "Schite! a GUN!! Runnnnn!!!!" How many people do you believe would attack you if you pumped 10 rounds of .22LR right into their face?
