Improvements in 380 ammunition make for an even better defensive arm. I can put several accurate shots on the target astonishingly quickly with these pistols, far more so than a 9mm and needless to say am very pleased and satisfied with these Berettas.

Here's a couple of comparison photos. Note in particular the one with that enormous J frame Smith.

HUGE, eh?
