......Actually, the FBI standard of 16 inches penetration may be something of a false god to the rest of us. All you really need to reach the vital organs in a typical frontal confrontation is 6-7 inches.
If you can guarantee that all you'll ever face is an unobstructed frontal presentation then you have your answer. Most of folks cannot be assured of that and that is why those who carry a firearm for their defense (especially the police) look to more capable calibers than the .380ACP, .32ACP and .25ACP.
