that's not the point, i have a .32 Tomcat and a .380 Ruger and a .380 Walther PPK/S and their purpose is to GET OUT of what ever situation required them being drawn, NOT a gunfight... YMMV

Bond's Walther was chambered in 7.65, not .380.
My proof is in my pocket, a Bersa Thunder CC
excellent 380 pistol !
Got one in the drawer next to me now. It's a beauty for IWB conceal carry.
The build quality, smooth-light trigger pull, reliability, low recoil and accuracy of the Berea Thunder 380 is well documented.
The YouTube video reviews and owner/user reviews on the Bersa Thunder 380 speak volumes as to how consistently fine this weapon is. And with the right defense ammunition the 380 ACP is downright lethal.

pls see post #25, these guns are made so you can disengage and live to fight another day, not duke it out but that's just me
I carry a GLOCK 42 (.380) around the house with Hornady critical defense. It is my get to the big gun gun. Aldo wear it when working out at the gym. But I is not my usual ccw carry.
I bought a Taurus revolver, .22 cal, that held 9 rounds.
I bought it mainly because it held 9 rounds.
Boy, was THAT a mistake.
It is obvious that we have different standards of what is needed in our handguns.
I have a Taurus 45acp Tactical that is striker fired, with the same repeat strike capability. I trust my life with it as my home defense go to pistol. Eats any ammo I feed it. Loaded with Remington Golden Sabers for greeting purposes (12 + 1)/
yup, each of us values their own life in their own way
have you had the 42 long? i read how it had been a problem getting them into the country for some bizarre technicality
same Issues as mine?
I’m sorry you’ve had bad luck with them. I’ve owned 3 and each one has performed as advertised. The 2 I own now figure prominently in my EDC rotation. One s a PT856 6 shot snubnose revolver and the other is a PT740 striker fired semiauto in .40 S&W. The 740 kicks like a mule, but I kinda expected that going in.
CC
It was stolen from my truck a while back, this being Houston and all, but my main memory was the sucky trigger.
The movement was not smooth.
I never had a revolver before, so I didn’t really have anything to compare it to.
Revolvers have been my favorite since the time hot brass got stuck in my bra! Hee Hee Hee!
