Why anyone would carry a .380, .32, or especially a .25 is beyond me.

I don't know...maybe because it's chiefly for women, who have both smaller hands and usually less strength to handle recoil.

Not to mention trying to pull a Glock 17 or 21 out of her purse may have been harder or taken more time than pulling the sub compact out?

Or the fact that with less recoil her chances increase at actually hitting a perp with a round.
A 9mm, .45, 44 Mag etc round which misses has much less chance of helping her escape the situation.

Just ask the perp in the OP how effective a .25,.32 or .380 is at stopping a criminal act.
