.380

[rtspring]

Why carry a (bbgun) when you have way better choices! I for one would not put my life on the line with any handgun in .380 caliber. I have one and have shot numerous others. There is way better options.

A 90gr projectile, traveling at over 1200 fps, and hitting with 300 ft/lbs is now a BB gun? I guess I need a bigger carry weapon.  Any one here know where I can get a 30mm HEDP concealable pistol? Just having some fun, understand some feel, justifiably, more comfortable with greater knockdown capability. I prefer to have something small enough that I will actually take it with me while out and about.  I am also confident that a .380 +p round is capable of dropping a man.

Agreed. Comfort carry is very important to me. Otherwise I'll leave it at home. Might not be as powerful but I'm sure if I put a couple in you it might hurt

LCR in 38+P. Is a worthy little gun. I love it, but still really love the feel of my Sub XD 40.

I have a LCP and it comes in very handy when wearing lightweight clothing or a shirt that needs to be tucked in. Easy to hide and get to in a hurry. Better than carring nothing. And I would trust my life to it. Bigger is not always better.

I know a guy who had a .380 go off in a fanny pack that was sitting in his lap years ago. The hollow point passed through his thigh and exited, it didn't even expand. Missed all arteries and bone and other than a burning sensation 5 min or so after the incident. That was it, fully functional.

Try that with a Speer Gold Dot out of a 9mm, .40 Cal or .45 ACP and let me know how it goes.😁

So a bullet failure is to boon the chambering? Did you ask him if he did it 5 mor times because it didn't even hurt?

Let's face it, if you have to pull down on someone, a gun is better than no gun....and if the sight of the gun doesn't turn them, the thump of bullets on their chest, head and junk should....and if it didn't, you have tangoed with a full blown adrenaline or meth head and you would need to wait for them to bleed out regardless of bullet. Just like bad guys run from the sound of a pump gun racking a shell, they too don't think much of scared civilians with a confident draw.

1.   .380 CAPABLE of putting a man down.
2.   .45 WILL put a man down!

See the diffrence? I for one dont like the maybe factor!

Will it protect you maybe, Just dont care for the little shooters. To each is his own.

Plenty of video out there of guys doing the same with larger calibers thru the thigh while holstering, (dont know any personally, dont hang around with people who make those mistakes) and walked to the hospital. its a different thing when those bullets are placed on a lethal aiming point.

Rt,

I recommend that you carry an RPG and start practicing soon.

I call my LCP the "Little Crappy Pistol", but it's small, light, and a few shots at point-blank range and I guarrantee that the dirtbag won't be sueing me.  I love it! 

[Biggerhammer]

I can do more damage in close with a quality edged weapon than a .380 could do.👍

[CAM38]

Sweet!  I'll take 7 rounds out of my LC380 all day over your "quality edged weapon".  The girlfriend is perfect at 20 feet.  Are you bulletproof?  Would you like to put some $$ on you *censored* statement?   




this use of profanity was unacceptable

Haha! Do some research on draw time and sight picture. When it comes to a assailant with a knife already in motion. Within 20 or so feet the clown with the concealed handgun is getting bagged or stitched.
