Get a Ruger LCP 380. They’ll feed everything.

Buffalo bore has some great .380 rounds in stock, and decent price for good carry rounds Good stuff !

Kahrs have a rep for being very reliable. My 9 never once bobbled, even new.

I am not a fan of expanding 380 bullets. I don’t mind them deforming but pretty weary of the full expanding type.
A 380 side story… In the 90s I called in a small coyote. He came in fast and at about 10 yards I shot him lengthwise with a 22 Magnum. I stood up expecting to see him but he was gone with just a few speckles of blood around. I looked everywhere for him but couldn’t find him. I move down the wash to find another calling spot I started calling in a vast direction. Here comes a coyote running in with its left front leg swinging. Blood around its arm pit. I bet you that’s the one I shot I thought. He stopped 300 yards out I threw the rifle up and sent a Hail Mary. Unbelievably he had a seat I had hit him! I broke his spine near his hips. When I walked up to him he was sitting upright like a dog and I pulled out a Walther PPK stroked with 90 grain federal Hydra shocks and shot him broadside in the heart at less than 3 feet. When I picked him up, the Hydra Shock was laying on top of the sand fully expanded. This bullet had its last bit exit the dog. MAYBE 4-5 inches of penetration. What a rodeo what a stroke of luck. Sorry not very good at telling stories.

if the OP pistol is so dependent on a particular brand, I wonder why he did not state exactly what he was looking for.

Kahrs have a rep for being very reliable. My 9 never once bobbled, even new. Just recently sold my P9 Kahr, but I had it since first introduced in the 1990s. Same thing. Never a single bobble after countless thousands of rounds. It was my daily carry for many years throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. That fact made it hard to part with, but I have so many handguns of that type now that fit that bill even better, that I couldn't justify keeping it. But that was a gun I'd bet my life on. PS The Kahr K9 (the first of the series) was such a huge game changers in concealed handguns, as it was the first single stack 9mm that was roughly the size of a single stack .380 ACP auto pistol, like say a Sig P230. It redefined compact, concealed carry, 9mm pistols.

I would still have mine, but it’s one of those ones that pinches the end of my trigger finger. I still hold them in high regard.

Around here , 380 has always been about double the price if 9mm. Demand is real high and so are prices

[/quote] This comes up from time to time. It's because .380 ACP represents a small minority of their sales. Think about how many police departments make huge 9mm orders (or .40 S&W or .45 ACP) vs how many rounds of .380 ACP are purchased annually. They only do occasional runs of .380 ACP, while they pump those others out continually. Most who carry a .380 ACP don't do a lot of shooting with them. [/quote]
This is it in a nutshell. No huge overproduction of 380's just.make enough based on past sales amounts. Besides the performance of 9mm luger being superior there is no reason to own a 380 period. Mb

There is whole lot of assumptions packed in the statement but I guess it’s not going to impact the popularity of the 380.
