Smallest, trustworthy handgun? There can be only one...
Glock G30, factory tritium night sights, LWD captured stainless steel recoil guide rod and spring unit, Pearce +2 mag extension (really 1rd, not two), and 12rds of Winchester PDX1 in .45acp bonded JHP. Blade-Tech Universal IWB holster, or Blackhawk large fanny pack, or Blackhawk Serpa holster, or DeSantis Tuck This II IWB, or Fobus Ankle Holster...
There is nothing like a G30, or its older brother, the G21... Either one, is the most reliable, dependable, durable, accurate out of the box, BEST .45acp semi-autopistol. PERIOD...

Glockman1949... gotta go with you on the G30. Such a sweet, sweet pistol! I love mine. And my 21SF.
I'd like to see your G30 with the Pearce ext... got any pics?

It looks like we have a lot of ideas about the "smallest" gun we'd trust.
I posted way back when that it would be a 380, which is generally considered a pipsqueek round. But I think it'd do the trick if it ever needed to, as long as I did my part, that is.
I read a lot about stopping power, but I don't think much of it is honest. I'm convinced that handguns in general don't have much stopping power. Rifles and shotguns do. But handguns require good shot placement in order to stop a determined assailant. We've all heard about cases where an individual has absorbed multiple hits from major caliber handguns and not only survived, but suffered little long term damage.
We've also all heard about single shot stops, using the same calibers.
The difference? Where the bullets passed through the targets.
Ya gotta hit 'em where it hurts. All else is minor details.

A 22mag has more punch than a .32?
