I carry my Bodyguard 380 in the watch pocket of my jeans all the time. In the winter I carry it as a backup to my XD40.
FBI stats say the average gunfight includes three rounds fired over three seconds from a distance of 3 yards. 2019
With that said, in most cases a .380 is sufficient. However, we all know that the bigger the better and a bigger caliber has more stopping power.
Proficiency in any gun greatly increases your chances of surviving a self defense scenario. In the right hand a .22lr is deadly while in the wrong hands a 44mag would be unless. Practice practice practice....... IMHO
