  re: “a 9mm isn’t worth using” & other big-bore macho outlooks

  It’s a trade off

  Best gun for a situation is one you’ll actually have on you. A 45 (or by extension, a Des Eagle) is likely to be at home, while folks with small, light, concealable 380s, 32s, 25s & 22s are far more likely to be actually carrying them, since they’re
  1) far more concealable
  2) far more continuously carryable

  Keltec & Seecamp 32s (e.g.) are concealable, small & light enough to carry continuously without annoyance & without a holster. They go right in & come right out of a pocket and are safe to carry there.

  They’re as functional for DETERRENCE as a 45, and stats & reason show deterrence is where it’s at. 2 million defensive uses/yr; vast bulk of which don’t involve shooting anyone. Few criminals will volunteer to catch a 32 or for that matter a 22.

  It’s irrational to insist citizens choose weapons based on a chance of meeting a PCP-head. That story isn’t the norm & 45s can fail to drop them too.

Decent folks in commie states like CA & NY are far more likely to be victimized by government than by criminals, if they carry a gun likely to be noticed by police (45, 50 or a big 9).
