Re: Should the 380 be discouraged as a CCW ?

Consider that the national average hit ratio for police officers in gunfights is around 18%. Now, you may be far more proficient in the use of your .380 than most police officers are with their service pistols (or not), but it's worthwhile to consider that 18% of five isn't even a whole 1. Facing the usual 2 or more BG's with a likelihood of one potential hit (which may or may not put that individual out of action) out of 5 available and a backup plan that consists only of fleet feet is well outside of my personal comfort zone.

YMMV.
I underlined the key thing for me. The single bad guy is the exception, not the rule. They travel in pairs at a minimum most of the time, right? I can't remember the last story I've read or heard about a single bad guy.
