I wish I would have known how much. 380 ammo was before I bought one.

Sounds like a good reason to buy another caliber.
Carry the .380, but get a 9mm or 40sw for home/zombie defense.
Also, you can, last I knew, get a surplus mosin nagant 7.62X54 for less than $100, and 500rds for about that as well.
Good zombie gun... :)

Another reason I ‘wanted’ .308, but went .223.
$10 a box for Remington .223 55 gr UCM. Not exotic, but it’ll get the job done.
That and I know every family member can handle a .223 carbine.

I carry a Ruger LCP 380 solely due to it’s size. My Kahr CW9mm was still a tad too big for me to carry comfortably everyday.
Yep, time to buy another piece (you see, this is what starts happening :)).
Shoot the 380 enough to stay familiar with it, but pick up something else to shoot at the range regularly.

My .357 SP101 takes .38 as well - great for practice fire.

Or add to your collection.

I agree. My 45 ammo costs were painful. I was listening to a Gunny (good guy) with a
YouTube site. He was using CO2 pellet gun for practice.
Air Gun Depot is a great place to find both pump and CO2 rifles and pistols. I went with the
Beretta PX4 Storm. The refurbished models are $60 and the cartridges and pellets are very economical. The CO2 pistols are excellent for practice. I like the blow back action on the Beretta as a gentle reminder of safe handling.
I have also purchased a few of the break action air rifles. They are worth checking out for practice and varmint hunting. For a kick check out the
Gamo Hunter Extreme Air Rifle .25 cal- 730 fps w/3-9x50 IR A/O Scope. The break action is a little hefty on this one, but ammo is cheap and is competitive with powder. You won't break the bank stocking up with ammo.

Whoever said “freedom isn’t free” was not kidding-it ain’t even CLOSE to being cheap!;)

I wish I would have known how much. 380 ammo was before I bought one. My advice is to get something else to practice with but keep the .380. In a SHTF trade scenario you can never tell what kind of ammo might be involved.
