Not sure what stupid videos you've been watching, but 5 rounds of .38 wadcutters will knock any man down!! Don't blame the equipment if you can't make it work.
The J-frame .38 is the best concealable fightsman's pistol extand and will remain so. The unreliable bottom-feeding autos that jam every time you look at them are NOT suitable for defense work. The J-frame WILL AND CANNOT EVER JAM under any circumstance, five rounds will ALWAYS be enough if you can shoot, and...
Oh who am I kidding, the man that packs a J-frame and no reload is better armed than most, since most aren't armed. But today with the vast array of extremely reliable and concealable semi-autos, they are severely handicapped.
Easy to get hung up in the nostalgia, but look at them as the tools they are before anything else. The J-frame is obsolete, it's just that a lot of people won't accept it.

Sorry buddy, totally misplaced reality. As previously noted, unarmed thug, yep you are ahead with a 5shot. Two armed attackers, you are likely dead man walking. Not all fights will be at 21ft or less. Mot all fights will be one v one. With todays subcompact 9, little reason to be less armed imo, but I do not denigrate those people making their choices, just pointing out its a bit misguided.
