Good video and information. Looks like we can all feel comfortable with carrying our .380s when we need light weight and concealeability with summer clothes. My bug out gun will be my Saint Victor pistol with Law Tactical Folder and some loaded magazines. It can easily fit in a couple of backpacks that I have. And probably weighs less than 7 lbs. with accoutrements. My pistols will come along as well, but having that .223 in a backpack would be a more than welcome addition.

With twice the recoil! I shot a friend's Desert Eagle and handed it back after 3 rounds. He shot 5 rounds, put it back in his range bag, and shot a S&W Victory 22LR for the rest of our range session although he had a couple 9mm's with him.
