I say it doesn't matter what caliber the pocket gun is. It wins. The fact that it's faster outweighs any caliber difference IMO. That and the fact that a short barreled 38 special is going to be negligibly more powerful than a .32 or .380 pocket pistol. The person getting shot will not know the difference, the difference is the pocket pistol is faster so you have a greater chance of taking correct aim and/or getting more shots off which IMO makes it a more powerful gun.
