Even prior to, and therefore more important than, shot placement is the first rule of gun fighting.
I love my old Glock 17 (Gen2) and it would be great to have, with 2 loaded mags, when trouble comes. If I was a leo or security whose job is to run towards trouble, that's what I'd chose on my belt.
But I'm not, and that's just not going to happen. Its usually in my vehicle. By carrying a pocket gun, in my mind I'm doing better now than I did just having a G17 in the car. The P380 is no wmd, but I've watched and read enough accounts where somebody saved the day with a little gun to know its not useless either. It doesn't have the highest velocity, or capacity. But I am getting better at shot placement.
I want to mention, because you never hear this, that I'm very grateful to all of you who carry. I feel better knowing that there are responsible armed people out there. Thanks
Rest in peace Muggsy
