Should the 380 be discouraged as a CCW ?

It's true that a solid hit with a .380 or larger round in a vital area will likely result in an end to the threat.zero4o3 wrote:That it was I was goign for, in my mind some one who aims for and hits a vital area with anything .380 or larger is most likely going to kill youbigred90gt wrote:I could be mistaken, but I believe he was referring to which round YOU would rather be shot with, in which case, which ever the shooter is least accurate with is a valid answer.03Lightningrocks wrote:zero4o3 wrote:I assume you meant most so I changed it to keep others from getting confused.zero4o3 wrote:your best chance of survival in my mind, would be with the gun the shooter is MOST accurate with.
How quickly or slowly that happens will make or break the defender's day.
There's a significant difference between "pretty quick" and "eventually" in that result. The size and power of the round has a pretty big influence on the time it takes to achieve useful effect when the shootee really wants to keep doing what he was doing that made it necessary to shoot him.
When it comes to bullets, little and light doesn't do the same job as big and heavy.
Remember that whatever you choose will be all you have to work with in a moment of need.
Choose carefully.

I would only amend that to say "when it comes to handgun bullets..." because I sure as heck wouldn't want to get shot by someone wielding an AR15.Excaliber wrote:When it comes to bullets, little and light doesn't do the same job as big and heavy.

Just my $.02. I carried a PPK/S for many years before I got my CW9. I'm a fairly small-framed guy, and it was no sweat to conceal. Rarely felt as if I wasn't carrying "enough" gun. Mostly, some gun is better than no gun.

That makes as much sense to me as a car repair website deleting any discussions involving metric wrenches.bugsbunny45 wrote:I was just on another site and they state they would delete any discussions that promote a Mouse gun or 380 as a CCW choice.

Took my old VW bug to a local garage once for an easy repair and when I got it back I noticed the heads of several bolts were rounded off.

IMO, the only ccw that should be discouraged, is the one that you won't carry.... big or small.
