While it might seem dramatic to shoot someone with a gun in a movie, it's not as dramatic in real life. In reality, pulling a gun on someone can distract them from their plans. The choice of bullet will have an impact on ballistics, which are the characteristics of the projectile's speed, penetration and expansion. The right bullet can stop further harm from an attacker.

380 is a batch-run round

The 380 is a batch-run round designed for pocket pistols. It's accurate with minimal recoil. You can also load it into a 9mm Luger Chamber. This cartridge was designed by George Luger in 1902. It is the most widely used, most affordable, and most commercially-available. Some companies actually produce multiple bullets in this cartridge.

The 380 isn’t a big batch-run round with high stopping power like many of its competition. Nevertheless, it is less effective than 9mm, which are much smaller than 380 ACP pistols. Hornady's Critical Defense round is one of the most popular self-defense rounds on the market. It boasts an impressive muzzle velocity of 1,050 ft per second.

It is also cheaper

A 380 conceal carry caliber is very popular. Although it has less power than a 9.mm and less recoil, it is still very popular among concealed carry gun users. Because it is made with lower quality raw materials, 380 ammunition costs less than 9mm. Also, the 380 ammo isn't as popular as the 9.mm, so the price per round will be lower.


Both calibers can be used for defense, but there are some key differences. The 9mm is a more powerful caliber and has a larger cartridge with more room for powder, while the 380 is more maneuverable at close range. Although the 380 Auto is smaller and easier for attackers to carry, it still has the ability to stop them easily. The only commonality between the two calibers is the diameter. That is why militaries as well as law enforcement agencies prefer the 9mm over 380 for self-defense.

It is easier to conceal

Many people opt to carry a.380-caliber pistol as their everyday carry weapon. Although smaller calibers are easier to conceal, larger caliber guns will still require larger guns. A 380 can be concealed more easily than a standard 9mm. The 380 is easier to conceal and carry, making it an excellent choice for EDC.

A 380 ACP measures 9mm less than a 9mm. The PSI of the 380 ACP is lower because it has a smaller shell. That makes it more concealable and less likely to be found. 380s can be concealed more easily than 9mms, which have a much higher recoil. Also, 380s tend to be less expensive than larger models. A 380 gun is more cost-effective if it is lightweight and can be concealed easily.

It is much more deadly than 9mm

Although there are differences between the calibers, the.380 is more deadly and the.9mm is more powerful and faster. Although the.380 has more recoil, it does not make the 9mm less effective. 9mm rounds have a weight of about 112 to 14 grains and travel at around 1,000-1100 fps. They provide more energy.

You can go to the range more often due to the low cost of.380 ammo. This allows for better accuracy and greater chances of making a kill shot if you are threatened. The 9mm projectile is more vulnerable to penetration than most self-defense round, making it less dangerous in these situations. Law enforcement is also less effective because of the lower penetration.
