We hear this phrase all the time and it has absolutely no bearing on the subject matter. What a person "feels" about their gun is completely irrelevant. Only what the gun/caliber is capable of is important. You might "feel" fine carrying a .380Auto on that safari, but the elephant will still squash you after you shot it with every round you have.

I’d say that depends. If the “don’t feel undergunned” person is basing the feeling on decades of first-hand experience working murders and shootings, going to autopsies, dealing with armed criminals, and being in and around the occasional shooting scrap, then that feeling is probably valid.
If, one the other hand, that person is basing their good .380 vibes on secondhand accounts, internet tales, and magazine articles then you are probably right.
I carried my .380 today, and didn’t feel undergunned in the least.
