.380 guns be realistic about what you are carrying
I think this past year may have been the year of the .380 pistol. I don’t know exactly why everyone went with the .380 this year, but it was popular and considering the run on the ammunition and it’s lack of availability, I think I should have purchased some stock in .380 and not just gold. I recently attended a Taurus firearm event where the TCP .380 was being shown. When I think of .380 guns I believe that up until this year, I could only think of the Sig Sauer 230 and the Sig 232 and the Walther PPK. I have enough friends that like the look of the PPK but were not a fan of the gun due to the hammer bite. If you have big hands that gun is most likely not for you.
The TCP was a little finicky about the ammo it ate, but I have shot several of the Rohrbaugh R9 pistols and they were also very picky about the ammo they ate. When you get down to those small semi-auto guns, you better put the range time in to know the limitations of the guns. You won’t get a pocket pistol that will run for hundreds of rounds without needing to change springs or be lubricated. Rotating your gun magazines is a must for smaller semi-autos. The .380 is also a very mild round and I witnessed first hand the lack of energy it had when shooting steel plates. I watched a recent video where I heard 4 shots fired, one miss, 3 hits and the metal plate only fell one time. Be realistic about the guns you are carrying and and why.
