[QUOTE="Remington, post: 1405313, member: 845"] What I'm learning is that caliber size for SD is like everything else a personal opinion, as is what type of bullet to use. One .380 in the gut may not take a guy out, but I'll bet you 3 or 4 will. My thoughts on carrying the .380 are: 1) the gun being a deterrent to a altercation all together. 2) Using it to cause enough harm at a minimum to even the fight. 3) Cause enough harm to neutralize the threat without even having to touch one another. I think a .380 can handle all of those. My original question was how much penetration do you really need? The down side to hollow points that I've read is that there is a chance they may not expand properly. Even if they don't expand properly there still going to penetrate probably 10 inches +/-. Aren't they? [/QUOTE]
