Now I expect this thread to receive some of the standard replies, i.e. why carry a .380 when 9mm is so much more effective, etc., etc.
But seriously, with the current crop of .380 autos out there, combined with the current state of defensive ammunition, a .380 is very attractive
to a lot of people who really need a compact weapon, are on a limited budget, what have you.
So here's the question: What do you think is the most effective .380 ACP pistol/ammo combination out there?
I always wanted a Colt Govt. .380. The slim miniature-1911 design, with its slim profile, is very attractive.
But I also think that its 4" barrel gives it an advantage over many of the other common .380 offerings with 3" and 3.5" barrels, (or shorter for the pocket .380s) in terms of muzzle velocity and accuracy.
As for ammo, awhile back a post on this forum turned me on to the Remington Golden Sabre. At 102 gr., it's about the heaviest .380 bullet out there. Combined with a 4" barrel, I believe this is the most potent .380 gun/ammo combination you will find.
What do you think?
