.380

I have heard a few people say that the recoil impulse of the LCP 2 (.380) is way too snappy. I plan on carrying the WWB 95 Grain FMJ rounds. For anyone who has shot an LCP 2, even better with the WWB 95 Grain, what is your opinion on the recoil/shootability? I know everyone's recoil tolerance is...

Hey everyone. Real quick, I just wanted your opinions on this .380 95 Grain Flat Nose FMJ round for conceal carry/self defense. 6+1 in a stock mag, 8+1 with +2 mag extension. Around 900 FPS average. Flat Nose kind of acts similar to a wadcutter in that it cuts tissue better than a round nose due...

Howdy friends, I am being offered the following FN Model 1910 and need your help to determine the year it was made as well as an approximate reasonable price (pictures attached). P.S. Can someone explain to me the purpose/reason of the tip of the barrel/bushing design? Thank you and have a...

What do you think of .380 FMJ, not Hollow Points, for Self-Defense? Do you think it has good enough ballistic properties? More than enough? Not enough? I plan carrying a Glock 42 with a +2 extension, for a total of 9 rounds of .380 Flat-Nose FMJ rounds. .380 FMJ round has a .356" diameter btw.

I am aware that this is a blowback gun; thus, it has more felt recoil than locked-breech guns AND it is not easy to rack the pistol’s slide. I have searched for several options, the most logical one is to replace the recoil spring; however, I’m afraid it will have a negative effect on the...

What is the Smallest, Lightest Defensive Pistol You WOuld Rely On ? I'm not talking specifically about EDC here but in those circumstances where you really MUST have a small pistol, say in sweatpants while jogging and no belt or maybe light shorts, no shirt on the beach. Maybe something...

I had been looking around for some truly unique grip panels for my antique autoloader. I had a couple of criteria. 1) The grips had to be shootable non- presentation type, that can stand up to the rigors of casual shooting. 2) The grips had to be exotic and one of a kind. 3) The grips had to be...

My LGS has some me Diamondbacks on clearance for $200. Are they any good? This would be for pocket carry. Also please help me decide between .380 and 9 mm. The 9 MM is a little bigger and heavier. I prefer the .380 size for concealment. And due to hand surgery, not sure how much recoil I...

I recently ordered a 3 die carbide set from RCBS for .38 special and .357 magnum from amazon. I got the set in the mail today and was surprised to see that both the sizing and seating dies were labeled 380 AUTO. Upon further inspection I discovered that amazon (or someone, but I assume amazon)...

I picked up a Mauser HSc imported by Interarms back in the late 60's/early 70's for a few hundred at the Wanenmacher show at the end of last year, I was wondering if anyone else on here owns one? Took it to the range a couple times and I've been having serious feeding issues with it. I've...
