Just my opinion (and those of everyone I know), but .380 is a useless cartridge. However, there are those who swear by them...
A local gun owner remarked to a customer about two weeks ago, who was considering a .380, “People say a lot of bad about the .380, but I’d hate to be hit with 8 of them.”
I remarked, “That’s the point; you’ll have to use 8 to take down a grown man.”
The customer bought the .45 ACP.
I bought the Ruger .380 LCP for myself for Christmas and I thought with the HP ammo it would stop an attacker. Oh and I have a Colt Python .357 and a Browning .22 for plinking. And I’m a female. I think I need to add the Crimson laser grips to my new .380.
