I'm not sure why it should matter as to what kind of gun you carry being dependent on the likelihood of having a violent encounter. Using that logic, people who live in the safest places would only carry firearms chambered for .22 short, and people living in the most violent areas would carry nothing less powerful than 50AE.
With today's technology, it is easy enough for me to find handguns chambered for 9mm which easily fit in my pocket. Two that come to mind, which I own, are Boberg XR9-s (now made by Bond Arms) and Diamondback DB9. About the same size as most .380's. As for .32 caliber handguns - these are just not my thing. Perhaps I should reconsider?
