uh, I carry a 25auto.  it's loaded with a cartridge that splits up on entry in the body.  forgot the name of them but they were $8 for six cartridges.
I carry 4 in it. one in the chamber, three in the magazine so as not to over compress the spring.
it's not for combat, just to ward off a mugger.
my home gun on the other hand, will blow a very large hole in a home-invader.

The reason for my ROFLMAO is mostly because
 
 a. It is a poor excuse, even if that guy actually works as a security guard.
 
b. Most security firms have a minimum requirement for the firearm cal and I don't think the 25 ACP is on the approved list.
 
I had one of those little pistol and with the standard FMJ bullet you can shoot at a sheet metal piece from close up and don't even get a deformed nose, forget about any penetration.
A 22 lfr is a better choice.

I don't shoot those FMJ except for practice.  it stays loaded with a cartridge that blows the back out of a 2x4.  like I said it's only to discourage a mugger.
in fact, I wish I had a tip up single shot rifle in .25 auto.

BBF. I'd prefer a 22LRHP too, but a frien of mine is a leo and he told about a suicide he had to investigate. A 25 was the gun and the bullet went completely through the mans head, it actually dropped out as the body was being moved.  I doubt that a 22 would do that. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D

Being a FMJ I believe it, the 22 would mess up the brains ;D ;D !
