So I got to thinking... why is it that if you visit the revolver thread, most there will agree that a 5-round J-frame in .38 is "good enough" for CCW/self defense, but if you visit the autoloader section, many folks scoff at a 9mm loaded with double the amount of rounds?
Does a revolver somehow trick our minds into feeling like its more substantial? How is it that a J-frame loaded with less rounds of a weaker caliber could feel fine to one group of people, while the other group says things like "why would you use a 9mm when you can get a real caliber, like a .45"?
