16 you make alot of good points, however there is an extrapolation that can be formed using pine board, phone books, etc etc etc. If I can't shoot it through a tin can, and it's competition will shoot through three then I am FAR more likely to go with the competition simply for ease of getting said projectile where it needs to go. Of course there is no magic bullet, but that doesn't stop me from not wanting to carry a bb gun instead of a 44, or a 45. I am not saying the 380 is a bb gun by any means, but compare to a 40 a 41 a 44 a 45 etc etc etc it might as well be. The question stands. In you opinion is a expensive 380 worth it. My answer stands. In my opinion no. I can save money, and still shoot a stouter caliber MORE LIKELY to do the job. There are no guarantees in a firefight. I am a certified medic and rescue diver (certified in both as well as five other dive specialties in 1994-1996 Nacogdoches Texas at Diver's Depot), and I have worked for and with law enforcement (the darkest four years of my life). I have seen a 25 auto used to kill a man, and I have SEEN a man shot with a 380 auto in the head that survived (the bullet traveled under the hide around his skull and exited just behind an ear a fluke no doubt but if I were him I would catch up on my church tithes) But I reiterate. IN MY OPINION (and only my opinion) the 380 is TOO light a caliber to carry for defense of myself and my family when there are better rounds to do the job. What you choose to carry to defend yourself and yours is up to you.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
