Do you trust .380 ACP?

I’m still getting used to it. I’m hearing word that Fauxvid is making a comeback and all I can think is the the hood Lord Almighty we are not in Oregon anymore

Please remember to vote accordingly if you would.

My next gun is going to be a mousegun. I can't carry at work, but I want something I can stick in my pocket when I hit the gas station at 0330 to get my daily gallon of iced tea, then lock it in a lockbox in my car when I enter the building. I've seen too many confrontations at that gas station that were one bad decision away from getting violent. I'm probably going to go smaller than .380...a Beretta Tomcat in .32ACP

Do it like this.

Just get a 357 s&w model 640 or a high cap 9mm like a cz p01. Depending on your living area!

Dont much matter if your leaving it in your car while at work.

Those beretta tomcats are kinda neat, but heavy for what they are!

I carry a first generation 640 in 357.
Been a while that it has been regulated to 38spl.

A 125gn jhp 38spl does good work on groundhogs.
I prefer the revolver because it always finds use on troublesome critters trespassing on the farm and I dont want to chase brass.

There was a time when I carried a bic lighter in my pocket!

I bet hosing a would be robber down with gas while holding a bic in the weak hand, might just make them scared a wee bit!

Amen.

This is interesting. Kinda matches up with what a couple of retired LA cop buddies of mine had to say - ".380 kills a lot of MF"

Looks like the .44 magnum outshines long guns by a slight margin.

I put my trust in how well I can place my shots. Caliber does play a significant role in some instances, but there is not a whole lot of difference between a misplaced slug from a .45 and a misplaced slug from 380.

Practice, practice, practice!

Even the lowly .22 can save your life. I don't care if you weigh 400 pounds, a well placed .22 will ruin your day.

"If I get hit with a .22lr, I am done. Maybe not dead, but I am done doing whatever tf I was doing"
My mind set is way different, I'm not done, not EVER, as long as the pump and wiring are working to any degrees. You can poke holes all over me and the fight will be on until the lights are turned out to go home, or they have become inert!
