Hit the right spot and a quarter inch wide bullet kills as dead as one that's .45 inch. A .25 Colt literally fits in the palm of your hand or in any pocket. This was my Dad's second favorite pistol, after his hammerless S&W .38. Both are antiques and if they weren't at the bottom of that fish pond I'd love to still have them.

“...if they weren’t at the bottom of that fish pond...”

I hate it when that happens!

A story from one of the gun rags years ago:
A lawman was enamored with a little .25 auto for some reason, so his loving wife sewed a small pouch for it into each pair of his duty pants. He dropped it in there and carried it until the fateful day.

A bad guy wrestling him for his duty weapon succeeded in getting it, so he went inside his waistband, pulled the .25, stuck it against the man’s chest, and fired! The muscular man looked down, touched the little red spot on his sternum and said, “What’s this?!”

This is NOT the reaction you’re going for, from a man you’ve just shot, but the the distraction allowed the heroic officer to take back his sidearm and win the confrontation.
