I agree. I do tend to use these pistols more for carrying, however.
For the home where size isn't really a factor, all of my defense pistols are .401 or over.
However, my idea of SD out in the world is not to slug it out toe-to-toe as if I was in an IPSC match. My first concern is safety and security. In that case, getting as far away from trouble as fast as you can seems prudent.
A .380 ACP pistol suits that job. It's light enough to carry, with modern hollowpoints it packs enough punch and it will cover your backside as you move to escape.
For the good guys without sworn duties, that makes about the perfect set of circumstances.
