Why I Like The .380

I was reading a post AZ wrote on the .357 and over penetration and it got me to thinking.

I agree and that is why I carry HP in my PPH a .380. Hard ball in the 1911 or even the 9mm is nice but it can just over penetrate and the can create problems. Unless you are dealing with the Hulk, a couple of .380 hp rounds should do it and they will stay where you put them. If you do end up in court, at least you can claim due diligence.

I have been a fan of 380 for a long time, since the 1980's. I started with a Bersa, now I carry a Beretta model 84. It looks like a down sized 92. My hand loads are 95grain hp's moving a mid-range 9mm velocity. 13 rounds in the mag. make a nice carry pistol. Ralph

Beretta model 84.

I like the 84. A good friend has one so i was able to fire one. His tends to jam but that his his fault, he was NOT A MARINE and does not clean it as he should.

 

I have a 22 mag as well, I can say that 22 or not I would NOT want to be on the receiving end.
