"Bigger bullets are more effective" is an urban myth, with no basis in street experience.

I carry a Sig P239, 9MM and I feel just as safe, and have just as much confidence in it as I have in a .454 Casull. (and BTW, I can put 6 bullets in in a 4 inch group at 100 yards wth my .454 Casull)

I carry a sidearm now, for the same reason that I did in my 22 year LE career. It's a defensive tool, not a phallic symbol carried to "prove my manhod."
