Reply #70: But there is also a store in the Ayoob Files...

...about a woman who brought down a (not small) attacker with essentially a single shot (she shot him twice, but the first shot she pulled to the right and it went through the fleshy part of his arm) to the center of mass with a .380 auto.

I've also heard stories of drugged up guys in Iraq taking round after round of .556 NATO without stopping their attack.

Basically, the lesson I've learned is that a .380 is perfectly functional as a self defense round, and going up against drugged up guys is bad news, no matter what you're armed with.
