Success comes from having the proper aim as well as the .380 ammunition.

Remember when troops were issued the .38 special revolver and could not stop natives high on drugs? Only the 1911 worked. Umm, pretty sure you don't "remember" it either, since that was almost 120 years ago. Big difference between hearing about something and remembering it; stop being pretentious. Also, the 1911 was never used in that conflict. Here's a good link about it: http://www.morolandhistory.com/related%20articles/legend%20of%20.45.htm

Nor was the .38 Special used, but instead it was the .38 Colt.

Marginal but not inadequate. I think with the current subcompact 9MM's available there is not much need for .380's. My girlfriend who is not a hard core gun person and does not have especially strong hands likes her Ruger LC9 and shoots it well. She doesn't think the recoil is bad and operates the slide without too much trouble. I think a .380 would be only slightly easier to handle, especially if it was a blow back action.

What is the story on pink bullets?
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

What is the story on pink bullets? I see some red but not pink. And I am not colorblind.

Let me say if I was a criminal at 50 yards from you and you pulled a .380 on me I would laugh at you. Of course I would never be a criminal but might need to save a life or children. Empty your magazine and I need one shot. Criminals can get better guns so you are looking at an AR or a shotgun. Puny toy against large guns or huge teeth and claws. The gun can crack a cracker so it is deadly. Recurrent psychotic episodes Placebo-controlled trials of both first and second generation antipsychotic drugs consistently demonstrate the superiority of active drug to placebo in suppressing psychotic symptoms.[11] A large meta-analysis of 38 trials of antipsychotic drugs in schizophrenia acute psychotic episodes showed an effect size of about 0.5.[16] There is little or no difference in efficacy among approved antipsychotic drugs, including both first- and second-generation agent, You float through a haze so I would need a larger gun to have an effect. You need to be on drugs to think a .380 will save you. Remember when troops were issued the .38 special revolver and could not stop natives high on drugs? Only the 1911 worked. I shoot a friends .380 a lot and to keep all hits on a man size target at 10 yards is a chore. It has power and can break paper. Might chip a tooth too. To really kill it needs a 16" bayonet. you must be on drugs. the problem with the natives was a .38long, not a 38special. they went back to .45colt as that problem in the phillipines was just a few years before development of the 1911. and if you can't hit a man size target with a .380 at ten yards, go see the doctor for the hand palsy.

Now what would be better then a .45 Colt? yes they bring out old SA Army guns. The ACP was later. But all accounts of police armed with the .38 special were out gunned by bad guys so it went out. Is the nine better? No, just more rounds. Then the .41 for police, too much recoil. It failed too.It comes down to more rounds with the nine now since recoil is a nasty thing.

On Monday, I could have killed a juvy bull moose that came up in front of the cabin and didn’t see me standing there until he got to within about 12 yards. I could have easily gotten inside his OODA loop with a traumatic brain injury from the Glock 42 loaded with Buffalo Bore that was in my front pocket. Also, I’m no Bill Hickok, but a blind person could have made a double lung shot with the classic broadside the moose gave me at 15 yards. (BTW, I had been gun hunting and didn’t want the rifle banging up my 9mm pistol on my right hip, so I was pocket carrying the .380 that day.) Ultimately, we parted on amicable terms. I kinda like the clunky critters hanging around and I try not to bother them like some Yellowstone N.P. touron.

After reading only the first three pages I decided to come to the very end, assuming the rest of the pages contained the same absurdity and worthless input, so that I could post my comment. This thread contains some of the most ridiculous content ever. The emotions displayed because another poster disagrees is almost beyond comprehension.

BFR please explain the fact that the difference in found in IIRC over 2500 shootings was very small between the 45 ACP and the 380 Auto? Like the man said, your entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts.
