What I'm taking from Wanderling's data is that the .380 isn't a cartridge so weak I couldn't even put down a cat as many seem to claim. I am really surprised by how close the numbers are between the three calibers presented. With that being said the sample size used for the .380 is much smaller when looking at number of people shot. Interestingly enough the ratio of people shot to number of hits is about the same for .380 and .45. I don't think many would make the same assumption about the training and technique of .45 ACP wielders as they would .380 though.
While I am flattered it’s actually Paul7 who provided the link to that data. I merely copied some of it into the thread.
