A .380 FMJ will penetrate 12+ inches in gelatin, your silly string will not. I know it's not the Hammer of Thor, but the .380 in the pocket is better than the G23 left at home.lkd wrote:I'd carry a can of silly string before I'd carry a .380. It would be my hope that the BG would be distracted laughing, rather than furiously angry because you tried to punch tiny holes in his body but they were stopped by his thick hoodie jacket.austinrealtor wrote:The old joke used to be that guys talked about their .45s or large-frame .357s, but actually carried snub-nose .38sSpringerFan wrote:I have owned more pistols in .40 than any other caliber.

I guess the new version is guys talk about their .40s but actually carry pocket .380s
Takes one to know one
Just sayin.
I'll stick with my Glock 23.

Re: Why so may fireams in .40
I have owned more pistols in .40 than any other caliber. While I like the 9mm and love the .45, the .40 just fits my needs better than the other two. I do have smallish hands which is part of it, but also enjoy the higher round count over the 45 and power upgrade over the 9mm. That said, I carry a .380 more than anything else.
