I'm not a fan of the .380 per say... but the .380 serves a purpose for me.
The Bodyguard holds 6 +1, I carry +P Rounds.

I do carry bigger calibers but when its 105 degree outside the .380 is perfect. T-shirt and shorts and it doesn't print.

saying that...
.380 will make you just as dead as any round.
Its all about shot placement anyway. I will say you must practice at the range with your carry pistol. The small pistols can be difficult to be accurate with.

To me that's the biggest concern about a small gun. Not the caliber size but the accuracy. These pocket guns have a long trigger pulls for safety making accuracy difficult. Also remember these guns are made for up close and personal defense. If things get crazy grab the AR

Good Luck.

I have a little addiction to H&K. Here's the ones i've taken pics of. If you click on the pic and then click on it again when Flickr opens up, you'll get the high rez pic.
