I must admit, other than .22 rimfire and 32 H&R Mag, I know vey little about cartridges that don't start with a ".4". I guess I am familiar with the 357 Mag a bit.
Anyhoo, other than .40 S&W and 45 ACP, I don't have much experience with semi auto pistols.
I want a small CC pistola. I was leaning toward a Ruger LC9 or a Shield 9 with no safety. I got to handle each last night.
I also fondled a Ruger LCP and a Smith Bodyguard. Both were quite a bit smaller than said 9mms. Both were in 380.
I know the 380 isn't a 9mm. And that the 9mm is more effective. But I really like those tiny little 380s to carry and hopefully never have to use.
So question is, who uses one? How "well protected" do you feel, or do you feel "under gunned" with one?
I was going to just buy a 9mm, but these little 380s are so light/ unobtrusive, they really have me thinking....
