I know, I know, there are many recommendations against carrying light calibers, say .380 or less. The main-argument in favor of .380 is that some fairly recent pistol designs are very concealable. I will go so far as to say that these offerings are probably the main reason .380 continues to thrive, and at times even be in short supply, more than a century after its introduction. As to the terminal ballistics of the .380 versus 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP, I am happily in the same boat as most people. Having not been in multiple gunfights with each caliber leaves me with nothing but the numbers and formulas, factory stats and anecdotal information from other peoples' gun-fights. Not enough to qualify me to make proclamations as to the fight-stopping qualities of a given round.
