Just watched this on youtube, very interesting stats based on study of 1700 shootings.

I saw that and meant to post it here. Very interesting, Especially about 380.
My only beef was when they discussed 410 revolvers. They said "assuming they're half as effective as a shotgun." They meant "assuming they're half as ADDITIONALLY effective." Math matters.
But the rest was very well presented.
(My big beef with myself is how badly I type on a tablet.

When the new generation of personal defense hollowpoint ammo became widely available(win pdx defender, speer gold dot, fed HST), it largely made 40 and to a lesser degree 45 pointless. Its why everything now is offered in 9mm
