It really isn't that much different than some people who rag on other for only carrying Insert least favorite caliber ie:.380, 9mm etcI use to get lots of crap for my EDC being a Sig P232 in .380. Then one night at the club during concealed carry shoot, I drew from concealment, and placed 3 shot in the head of a standard silhouette target at 7 yards in 2.57 sec. After that, I got a lot less crap. It isn't so much about what you use as how well you use it. After all, what is the old saying: Police use a .40; Soldiers us a 9; Pros use a .22
