They may exist but they would be so extremely unlikely as to be beyond the realm of a viable argument for weapon choice. I tend to disagree. Then you had better start carrying a Contender with a good scope in a real deer caliber, if you are going to be engaging shooters at 100 yards. Personally, if I thought there was a good chance of that, I would just stay home. I can engage adequately at 100 with my handgun, this I know and have proven many times over in the game fields. I have no need for a contender or scope on my handgun, if I want a large cumbersome weapon with a scope I will use one of my rifles

I hope you are with me if anyone cuts down on us from 100 yards out. Maybe you can keep him pinned down while I get away.
Seriously, I just see attack possibilities at very short range, like contact to 20 feet. I don't even contemplate being attacked at long range and if it does happen, I'm not likely to need a handgun because I have been targeted by someone with the intent and ability to kill me with the first shot.

The vast majority of people will never ever need a weapon for a self defense situation. People carry for the unexpected chance that they might need one. Better to have over trained than under trained is my motto. Practicing longer shots maks the short ones a piece of cake

Starting to look like none of us have ever deer hunted with a .380 or .32 ACP. Which is no surprise. That's what I figured the case would be.
