Those new Walther 9mms and Sig sub compact 9mm's are tiny. Pretty much all of them hurt the webbing of my hands when I've shot them.
From last I read, a 380acp doesn't have the penetration to match 9mm when using the same quality HP ammo.
True enough, but I'd certainly never want to be on the receiving end of even a 380auto just the same.
I personally find the sub compact 9's to still be a bit too large. They are a little smaller than my M&P 9c, but still fairly substantial, especially compared to something like a Ruger LCP 380, KelTec etc which is so very thin.
I think if it were me, and I wanted to go with something a little power powerful than a 380acp, I'd pick up a Ruger LCR in 38 Special and shoot +P rounds. Its thicker and larger than a 380 auto of course, but the overall silhouette is less than a stocky 9mm sub compact. Not to mention it could also be fired from a jacket pocket and there are no worries of failure to eject or cycle etc. If it goes "click" simply pull the trigger again.
Needless to say, firearms don't really have much to do with this thread, but as you can see, they really do have many parallels to what one is willing to carry, be it a camera or a defensive pistol
