I think @raggie33 is talking about .380 ACP self-defense rounds, not target ammo.

Yes, I agree, the .380 ACP self-defense rounds have improved significantly, but 9mmPara/Luger is still going to have superior ballistics. But if you can shoot the .380 ACP more accurately, then load up with the good stuff, and be satisfied.

The 380 sure is more easy to carry to. Check out the bodyguard 2.0 and is accurate till 50 yards i heard .

Get a LE trade-in .40 S&W Glock, and you can swap the barrel and magazine out for 357 SIG. Then if the ammo gets too expensive or scarce, you can convert it back to .40 S&W.

 

[raggie33]

What ever you carry please practice with it take a gun safety class . Use your brain no second chances with gun safety .

 

[Chauncey Gardener]

no second chances

Nope! I'm the one and only. 🤓 An original. A one-off.

Best thing about carrying a small defensive gun is the anti gun nuts can't see it. Omg there some of the most stupid humans on earth lol. They truly think they will be safer if no good guys had guns lol.

Carrying a 32acp atm. Usually carry a Sig 238 (380) or a Sig 365 (9mm) Rarely but sometimes i carry a Kimber in 45acp or a Glock 29 in 10mm. Last two in open carry.

What is the smallest caliber you will carry for self defense? I have carried a Beretta mouse gun in .22LR.

 

[raggie33]

I was out last night kept hearing a large aminal that sounded mad. I need to google what we have far as wild life in very South ga on the Bama border right on the chatahochie. I know we have a lot of coyotes buttons sounded bigger then heard something else reminded me of what a baby gator sounded like. I w as worried about the gator. Lol only flash light I had with me was a old Felix aàa not sure if it had a fish battery. Ut wasn't to bright

 

[Buff]

Ahh seems it also matters what caliber your flashlight is too. 😂
I usually have my vest on when i take the dogs out for their final business meeting.💩 Right pocket has a Ruger 380 LCP and left a Seeker 4 USB version in red at 3100 lume but high candela ( more than the newest seeker that i find too floody for my taste) and great throw.
