Fair question. I recommend Gold Dots for students to carry for defense, but several physically impaired (arthritis, etc) people have been persuaded to carry .38 WC instead of going all the way down to a .22, or just forgetting the whole idea of having a gun.
Not here, but I have heard some people rant that anything less than .38 +P+ HP was "no better than a sharp stick," which is demonstrably NOT true.
We sometimes forget that the majority of the population is not composed of healthy young males.
