    If I wanted to make sure someone was KILLED, I would carry something bigger. I'm not looking to kill anyone; just to stop the attack. Furthermore, most of the attacks are stopped at the sight of the gun. Therefore, all calibers are equal in THAT aspect.

    ............. My BERSA .380 has not failed me, and I don't ever believe it will...............

    :eek3:

    That's good to hear. Mind sharing with us how many BG's you've dispatched with your trusty .380, to justify your faith in it?


    LSP: I believe this satisfies your criteria for "targets of opportunity." :D

    In 32 acp I would NEVER consider carrying HP's. I carry hard cast lead +P Loads from Buffalo Bore. They have ballistics from the Keltec P32 that I carry sometimes that show that their load is driving the 75 grain bullet at 910 fps. They might have enough butt to get to some place effective.

    After that "learned dissertation"" you post that you carry a .32 ACP for self defense ?? In a Kel-Tec no less ?

    I'm now convinced there is one Dave posting under two screen names on this forum.

    I do on occasion carry the P32 with a Crimson Trace on it. But only in situations where nothing else will work. It's either carry the P32 or nothing sort of thing.

    I know that some Keltec's don't run. I've shot well over 500 rounds through it. Much of that 500 was mixed loads. Mine runs.

    You're the second one that tells me I should question my use of the word, "study"! Maybe I should have read the damn thing before posting it.

    Dave,

    I'm confused. You posted a link to an article and asked people for their opinion on it, yet you didn't read the article you're asking others to read?

    Do I have this correct?
