Not calling you out specifically, but I never get the mentality of those that wouldn't trust their life with a small caliber weapon. I get if you have other options like in your case, but it really grinds my gears when people say something like .25 acp wouldn't stop a threat.
What are the chances you need to ever pull your weapon? And when that happens what are the chances you actually fire? And when you fire, what are the chances you get the unicorn guy that "just gets pissed off" when you shoot him with a small bullet?
I'm all for giving myself the best tool for the job, but people who dismiss small caliber weapons frustrate me. Like you said, it's better than a sharp stick. Ask the pizza delivery guy in Chicago that defended himself with a .22 revolver. (Saw it on a documentary)

I would love my FILs Berretta .32 acp as a backup truck gun. But like you said, I have better options in the truck.
