Plus, 9mm is the most prolific.

Don't handicap yourself by buying a gun in a niche cartridge, is my opinion.

I have some of the Underwood 9mm and like it a lot.

Given the size difference between a Glock 42 and a Glock 43, I'd never sacrifice the utility of the 9mm for the constraints of a 380.

Actually, Underwood offers a few different 380 +P loads. I don't know if anyone else does...maybe Buffalo Bore?

I've pretty much always felt the same way.

I don't have any 380s. But there is something in me that kind of wants one, maybe just my inner 'gun nut' speaking to me. I don't know if it would be something I would carry much, I still kind of want one.

The modern pistols and ammo have really brought more capability to the 380. Still in a small, lightweight, mild shooting package.

This vid is a good demonstration, using the Glock 42 using Lehigh and Underwood ammo in various gel and barrier tests.
