I thought that way too until I researched it a bit. The .380 just doesn't have the umpf to consistently penetrate deep enough for a good SD round. No I don't want to get shot with one, and yes I own one, and yes I carry one, but the minimum power needed for SD has been shown to be more than a .380 can muster.
Please read this report and let me know what you think:
