Kahr P380

[LBnM]

I handled a P380 and thought it was a nice piece (for a .380)...just way too small for my hand. I pocket carry and IWB a PM9 but much prefer a pocket carry. But I have a 38" waist and have been known to IWB a steel 5" 1911.

As a self defense round, the .380 acp is marginal at best. Better choices abound in 9mm or .38 spec.

From what I've read a good quality (Cor-Bon) 380 JHP round is just as good as .38 special. Handled the P380 yesterday and will buy one. It is a really cool Micro. Has a longer grip than the others too.

Might be close to a standard .38 spec but no contest for a good .38 spec +P or 9mm +P self defense round. That being said, to each his own.

My self defense round of choice is the Gold Dot 9mm +P. Some folks feel that a good round has to start with a "4".

The Hornady .380 has met the FBI penetration of 10" in ballistic gel.
That old story has been put to rest.
