Always find it interesting how the .380 and .32 are considered lame in the US yet in Europe they are used very widely for self defense and police applications as well. You can read plenty of crime reports in Europe where the 7.65 aka .32 did plenty of people in. It doesn't seem there are many people pissed off by 9 mm short and 7.65 - rather they are all dead.
That said, I don't get the fascination with pistols for self defense. Revolvers are so much simpler and always will go boom. That's what I'd carry if I would feel inclined to do so. Yes, they are 1/2 inch thicker ...
JMHO on both subjects ...
