I'm going to chime in here only because I choose a 9mm over a .380 for my carry gun based on reasons that had nothing to do with ballistics. Price and ease of finding ammo. Having said that, a good friend has several .380's and I've shot all of them and I still like shooting my Shield more than any of his .380's, which include a Bersa Thunder, Bersa Thunder CC and a Taurus TCP.

I am far more accurate with my Shield9 than I am with any of the others, and their recoil is far more snappy. His EDC is his Thunder CC and his Wife's is the TCP. She likes it and is comfortable with it and that's all that really matters.

If it wasn't for price and availability, I probably would have ended up with a Thunder CC as my EDC because it's not bad to shoot and size.
