For some reason I can't stop laughing at this news article. It might be the guy's picture.

Plus, who uses a 380?

At least the perp followed good gun handling rules, as it wasn’t loaded.

It’s amazing that it could even be put in there, but what’s even more amazing is that it could fall out. What the heck has he been doing back there? Well, on second thought I don’t want to know.

He’s got a wide receiver.

“I say, that’s a gun joke, son!”

Roberts appeared to be walking "strangely," Young said.

Well, I wonder why this guy is walking like he has a stick up his A$$.

I am guessing he only had the barrel up his a$$.

He was flexing his sphincter tightly to keep it in place as long as he could and finally let it go.

I am not clicking on your YouTube link for fear of it being a “how-to” video on the subject of this thread.

That wouldn’t do any good in a pat-down, I wouldn’t think.

Same here. Ruger LCP. Damned accurate pistol.

Those that know how to shoot and don’t rely on spray-n-pray.

I do.

And I have enough confidence in my skills AND the experience to put two in a thug's left eyeball and one more center mass as he's falling.

Defensive combat almost always occurs within 7 yards.

And at 7 yards, I can put all 8 + 1 in a two inch circle, on a fast-fire...with slow, concentrated, non-stressed fire, I guarantee you can cover them with a dime.

Relook the ballistics of some of the newer .380 rounds.

It certainly is not in the same caliber (pun very much intended) as a .45, but in the hands of a confident, skilled and experienced person, it IS deadly.

Now as for the POS that this guy had...meh...maybe a step up from a Lorcin, but not something I'd carry.

“Who uses a 380?”

I know several NRA trainers who refuse to train anybody for a SD class if they bring a 380. Another friend works in a morgue. He says if you want to shoot to kill these days, the .45 is still king.

The “shoot to kill” mentality will lock you up for a long, long time. Better “shoot to stop the threat”.
