Yes, but I'd rather have a loud smaller caliber FMJ with me than a mondo-mushroom hand cannon that gets left at home because it's too heavy to carry on such a nice day.
Like it or not, the under powered .380 pea shooter saved his life that day, and taught three wolves that people are to be avoided.
If there was a gun i would want its something with the 5.7 or as they call it the 5nSeven, basically a small rifle round in a pistol. Plus 22 rounds.
