Of course a 380 is anemic compared to bigger chamberings. A 45 ACP is fairly anemic compared to the 44 Mag I carry in the woods. A 44 Magnum is fairly anemic compared to a 500 S&W. It is all relative.

I hope you do not convince people to go unarmed just because they are not comfortable carrying the same type of weapon you do.

edit: "Not adequate" is opinion and not fact since there is no absolute measure of what must be accomplished with the firearm. A single shot shooting 22 shorts is quite adequate in some situations while a 45 ACP is terribly lacking in others.
