.380 vs 9mm

No real point the 380 is just a short 9mm. Today you can get 9mms just as small as the 380s

You guys realize the original post is about 2.5 years old, right? I am guessing he isn't still trying to make a decision, and it appears he hasn't posted anything in over 2 years.

Sometimes the newer members bring up posts from years ago and respond to them like they are current....

Hi doglips. hahahaha. I like saying that. Anyhoo, your wife would prolly like a small frame 9mm over the 380. The 9 has a bigger bullet and you can get guns that have magazine capacities between 9-12 rounds, depending on the specific weapon. I happen to love the .380 round and shoot the lights out with my crappy FEG PMK and my new-to-me Interarms Walther PPK. I feel because of the inherent barrel stability of a blow-back weapon, the 380 is the more accurate round compared to a 9. The problem is the .380 doesn't deliver the same amount energy into a target as a 9. Hope this helps.

The energy of a 9mm is compared to dropping 10 lb weight on your chest at less than 1 inch.

I have a Bersa Thunder .380 and loaded with Hornady Critical Defense ammo it is one nice shooter. I carry it IWB. Great gun!

Having said that I also at times carry a Ruger SR9c loaded with the same ammo and it is an excellent shooting gun.

Both will protect you.
