How much more accurate is a 9mm than a .380 under stress 10 feet from your assailant, where most scenarios of you needing to draw your firearm would occur?

The answer is that it's no more accurate. You are going to point and shoot a 9mm just as accurately or inaccurately as you would a .380 at that range. Most people aren't going to consistently carry if the gun is uncomfortable or difficult to conceal, and a pocket gun is much better than no gun at all. I carry my subcompact 45 from time to time and it's very manageable and comfortable but not as comfortable as the P238. I'd trust my life with either, as long as it goes bang bang bang I feel safe with it. I think the need to carry a "full sized" firearm because anything smaller is "inadequate" is the warped sense, not vice versa. I've never had a .22 stuck in my face but I imagine I would shite my pants, because i'm not going to think to myself "hey that's a .22, I can take a few of these to the chest no problem." I'm going to think "shite, there's a gun in my face"

This is my reasoning in total....plus I qualified expert with a .45 in the military. If you're not a good shot, and don't practice, then carrying a weapon is useless regardless of how big your pecker is dawg23.

A. Qualifying as "expert" in the military is a low bar.

B. If you want to defend yourself with your pecker, I'm sure it will prove interesting. I plan to use the G19 that I carry concealed 365 days per year), unless I can quickly get to a real weapon (12 gauge, .223 .308, etc.).
