Depends on the Bond. In Quantum of Solas it was specifically stated that it was a "9mm Short". But that gun had "smart gun" tech in it, and we should never seek to emulate such bad examples.Bond carried a 32 acp.

It wouldn't be my first choice, but if I couldn't carry anything bigger, it's the minimum I consider acceptable.Simple question: Would you trust your life with a .380?
I'm not interested in: if you can carry a bigger gun, then carry one. I just want to know if you, personally, would feel safe carrying a .380 only.

^^ And there it is!I would, but given the negligible difference in size of 380's and 9's (I have a P938 and LC9S Pro), I prefer the 9.
