everyone is convinced (without anything like reason) that they can reliably, without ear protection, while being shot at, standing in the open, hit the (maybe) 12"'wide circle of the chest, at 25 yds. gee, that means that they can reliably hit the 4" circle of the brain, at 8 yds, DOESNT IT? 
The geometry is irrefutable. Since you're so swift and accurate, why worry about a 380 not having enough power, hmm? The 380 suffices to brain people. The Russians proved that, thousands of times, with the Makarov, you know.
And the great majority of justifiable,( not get your butt sued off civilly) civilian defensive shooting occurs at 4 yds and less, making it DEAD easy for you "deadeyes" to hit the brain, correct?
The FASTS, however, show that most shots with the handgun MISS a man entirely at 7 yds, if the bad guy is shooting at you, and that most hits are NOT to vital areas, even at 10ft and less distances for the firing. Gee, that means that a cover using head is likely to be missed at 5 ft, hmm? and the shooting at the 25 yd guy, you can just forget about, except for maybe making him duck, firing as you run/dive for cover. Why bother practicing stuff that won't work when you need it, hmm?
