Well, when one poster calls another lazy because that latter doesn't wish to carry around an extra 4oz or 6 oz or whatever.... well, I feel he crosses the line. It is a personal choice, after all. He backs it up by stating that he knows of someone who took 13 rounds to be taken down with 2 to the head. Very valid points. I can post thousands of links of people who died after 1 or 2 rounds. A .380 can kill. A .45 can kill. A .22 can kill. We all know this. By his words, if someone attacks him it is his duty to kill the attacker (declared war) but the normal SD situation is to stop the threat. He feels he needs an RPG to feel safe and others choose a .380 to feel safe. To each his own. When he calls others lazy because they don't feel the same as he does is out of line, period.

I did NOT call you Lazy.
I said that one of the main reasons for the popularity of .380 mouseguns WAS lazyness...
YOU 'outed yourself' from there!
I own a couple .380's.
One (Russian Mak) SIts in the safe, I think I've shot it once in the last year.
The other (Kel Tec) Is loaned out to a buddy of mine's fiancee...
She is using it because she is unwilling to carry anything bigger...
LAZY!
The couple Oz clipped in the waistband of her scrubs is less of a hassle than her phone (Her words, not mine)
Anything (Including a BB gun) can kill.
What I am concerned about (As you stated, which tells me you know, and makes me consider the possibility you are 'knee jerking' defensive...)
Is STOPPING the threat.
I stand by my statement that handguns in general, and (In particular) rounds smaller than a GOOD HP 9mm or .38 are NOT adequate man STOPPERS.
You (Speaking in generalities) can do your own research into wether you agree or disagree with me, I'm not trying to get into a fight... meerly to answer the Question...
Convinance, But, as Clint Smith said "Firearms are NOT intended to be COMFORTABLE, they are ment to be COMFORTING."
And, as I aluded to, get used to the J frame, or Subcompact Glock in your pocket... Or buy a good quality belt and holster...
And the decent sized pistol will also be comfortable!
(This coming from someone who has CCW'd a .22MAG and .32 int he past... I have learned.)
