Welcome to the forum, from Louisville.

There are many threads on this subject. If you use the search function you'll find lots of them.

You'll also find that the opinions fall into very predictable categories, especially the "shot placement is everything" contingent. There will be people denouncing the .380 as a ridiculous mouse gun that will get you killed, and those who carry guns in .380 daily and feel quite comfortable.

What you won't find is consensus.

Good luck.
