General Thoughts on the subject
A solid hit with a bigger caliber is better than a solid hit with a smaller caliber. If you can't get your head around that, don't bother reading the rest.
I am amazed with the number of people who have decided before the fact: A. They will panic when confronted with danger, and B. They will miss a lot if they have to shoot. (My plans include neither.)
One must carry a sidearm useful to the carrier. This must be decided by the person in question. But anything carried must be 'useful' (carryable, shootable, controlable and so forth) or it is merely an amulet of some sort.
One responds to danger as one has trained; this includes self-training. If one has no sort of training at all, one will do exactly that. Nothing.
