Like some of the others I also think that the .380 is at the low end of the SD weapons choice. Still, it gives 10" to 14" of penitration in balistic jell, enough to get the job done. I own several of the small light weight hand guns, and none of them are really fun to shoot. In .380 caliber I do own two, one is a Jennigns I got in a trade, and the other is a Tuarus PT .380 HC, with a 19 rd. mag. This gun is accurate, and fun to shoot. It now belongs to my wife! I have let several ladies shoot this gun, and all of them loved it. Recoil is low, mag capicity is high. When I carry it I carry it in conditgion 2. First rd. is double action, and the rest are single. I suppose that all small guns will have a greater felt recoil than any of the larger guns in that same caliber.
Welcome Carver. May I be the first on this board - and certainly not the last - to say a sincere thank you for your service to our country.
