My exact sentiments. I have a conceal carry permit and I have been thinking about going to a small lightweight 380 instead of a 9mm. This video has made me question my original plans. I think I am going to go up to a 45 instead.

Get a Glock 20 or 21 and upgrade it to .50 GI.

Caliber:
It’s a little scary seeing so little effect. On the one hand, his gun was too small, on the other, he was carrying it.

Taking action:
I’m afraid that I would probably wait until some innocent person was hurt before taking action. The legal risk is just too great. Shoot before they shoot, and you are shooting skittles eating child. Wait for them to kill an innocent, and you are killing a killer. Sucks.

Walther PPK 380 with MagSafe ammo, or a higher caliber in a small arm with same ammo. It has hollow point, with small shot inside set in a resin. It has the accuracy And the punch with low recoil— deadly really.

Example: .45 ACP SUPER SWAT load, clocks at 2,160 + feet per second (fps) in a five-inch autoloader - yet has about one-third the recoil.

Example 2: The 9mm Mini-Glock Load cruises along at about 2,000 fps from Glock’s small Model 26, yet has far more stopping ability than the nastiest .357 magnum or 10mm hollowpoint in the world. Yet the recoil is about like shooting low-powered target loads.

If you need, put a handgrip squeeze laser on it. Point and click— boom, and much reduced “collateral” damage to others. As in all cases, if you are going to shoot, then you are not shooting to “nick”. website is magsafeonline.com and check out the gel patterns.

Not a salesperson for them. Pretty amazing invention for concealed carry and close in system. May go to the shorty .45 semi-auto or 9 mm since that data is out.

Been there, done that.

Feeling like a pack mule got old real fast.

My answer was to upgrade my marksmanship rather than my equipment.

Yeah, things may go sideways in a real life scenario, but it won't be because I made an excuse for not carrying that day.
