I once took a PPK in .32 out to shoot at targets. The targets were in old tires. The tires were about 25 yards out. I missed the target, hit the tire. The bullet hit my shin, not breaking the skin, but leaving a nasty bruise. I carry nothing less than a .380 to this day.

My brother (a 9 year veteran of the US Navy SEALS), while instructing his girlfriend, shooting steel plates at 25', had an .45 acp round pop back and strike him in the arm, breaking the skin, embedding itself just below the skin.

He is recorded as the only gunshot wound in the 20th century admitted to the student health center at the University of Virginia. He had 'some splaining to do, lucy'...
