I would trust a .38 Special 158gr LSWCHP for personal defense any time before any .380 or 9mm. Besides, try as I might, 9mm handguns just don't appeal to me for some reason. I rented a CZ a few months ago and enjoyed shooting it, but it was too big for me to consider for an EDC weapon.
So my EDC continues to be a .38 Special, I have several.
One thing though, as I've gotten older I don't shoot that airweight model 642 as well as I used to. I'm considering an aluminum frame .22 magnum to replace it as my minimalist revolver. I would trust a .22 magnum before a little pocket .380, too... although the Smith bodyguard is OK...
Nice Colt, BTW. Is it a Diamondback?
“I would trust a .22 magnum before a little pocket .380, too”
Why?
