Can a 380 Stop an Assailant?

It's dramatic to see someone shoot with a firearm. But it's not dramatic in the real world. 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 an automatic round that has been produced in batches and is intended for pocket pistols. It is reliable and produces minimal recoil. It can also be loaded in a 9mm Luger chamber. This cartridge, which George Luger designed in 1902, is the most common, most inexpensive, and most readily available commercially. Actually, this cartridge is used by many companies.

The 380 isn't a large batch-run round with lots of stopping power, unlike many of its rivals. The 380 ACP pistols are more effective than the 9mm. Hornady’s Critical Defense rounds are one of most well-known self-defense ammunitions on the market. It boasts a muzzle speed of 1,050ft/second.

It is cheaper

A 380 conceal carry caliber is very popular. Although it's less powerful than the 9mm and has less recoil it's still very popular with concealed carry handgun owners. 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.


Although both calibers can be used defensively, there are major differences. The 9mm is the more powerful caliber, and it has a larger cartridge that can hold more powder. However, the 380 is much more maneuverable at close range. Although 380 auto is smaller and easier to carry in close quarters, it can still stop an attacker with ease. The only commonality is the diameter, which is why the 380 and 9mm are preferred by law enforcement agencies and militaries for self-defense.

It's easier to hide.

Many people prefer to carry a.380 calibre pistol as their everyday weapon of choice. A smaller caliber pistol may be easier to conceal but a larger caliber gun will need a larger gun. A 380 is much easier to conceal than a 9mm. A 380 is much more comfortable to carry and conceal, making it a better choice for EDC use.

Compared to 9mm, a 380 ACP is smaller and lighter. It has a smaller casing, which means its PSI is lower. 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. The 380s are also more affordable than larger guns. As long as you choose a gun that is lightweight and easy to conceal, a 380 will likely be the better choice.

It is more lethal 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 produces less recoil, the 9mm is more efficient. 9mm rounds average around 112 to147 grains and travel at approximately 1,000 to 1,100 fps. This means that they are more efficient and provide more energy.

The lower cost of.380 ammo allows you to visit the range more often, which results in better accuracy and a greater likelihood of making a kill shot in the event of a threat. In these cases, the projectile of the 9mm is less likely to penetrate than many other self defense rounds. The lower penetration also makes the 380 ACP less effective in law enforcement.
