I have a newer Beretta Bobcat .25, also a .22.

I carry the .25 once in a while, just something to dump in my pocket when I'm not going far from my house. There are .32 Autos now a days that are the same size, if not smaller than the older .25 pistols, like the Kel-Tec and Beretta TomCat. .32 ACP has roughly twice the energy of .25.

Again, like was said about the .380........ with guns out there using today's hi-tech polymer techiques, like the S&W Bodyguard and Ruger LCP both chambered in .380, and both micro-sized and very light, there's no excuse now not to at least carry a .380 for times when "deep concealment" is important.
