What are the differences between a 22-LR and a 380ACP? Which is better? Here's a brief explanation about each of the most common handgun calibers. You'll also find information about the differences between 380 & 22LR. We also have tips to help you decide between a 22.2 and a 383.

380 ACP

A 380 ACP is smaller than a 22LR in terms of size. However, the 380 is still more powerful than the 380. Both pistols can fire high-powered bullets, but the 32 ACP is slightly weaker. The 380 ACP pistol is the most powerful, and it's also the most used by European police pistols.

Although shooting a pistol may seem dramatic, it is not always the case. A well-placed weapon and bullet can be used to stop aggressors. The bullet choice will also affect the ballistics of the respective projectiles. This will impact projectile velocity, penetration, as well expansion.

22 LR

When choosing a handgun cartridge, the choice of 380 vs 22LR might seem daunting. After all, neither cartridge is as old as each other. However, it is possible to see some differences between the two rounds by doing a quick comparison. Unlike 22 LR, which are rimfire cartridges, the 380 ACP centerfire cartridge is less common than the 22 LR. The bullet of the 380, unlike the 22 LR's, is smaller and more flexible than the 22 LR.


Both cartridges were tested for ballistics and compared. The results of ballistic testing will be affected by the velocity of each cartridge. However, the 380 is the more powerful cartridge when it comes to stopping heart and lung disease. The 22 LR is faster and stops the heart and lungs quicker than the 380. It is therefore a better choice in self-defense situations.

9mm Luger

It is still a matter of dispute which cartridge is the most powerful: the 9mm Luger, or the more powerful 380 ACP. Both rounds can be used for personal defense. However, each one has its advantages and disadvantages. The 380 ACP is smaller, lighter and easier to carry than the 9mm Luger. You can carry both and feel confident about your choice. We will be discussing the differences between these two calibers in this article.

The size of the bullets is one of the most significant differences between them. A 9mm Luger round has a slightly larger bullet than a 380 ACP, so it can pack more powder into its shell. This powder expands after firing, putting more pressure on the bullet. Therefore, a heavier bullet requires more energy for launch. 9mm bullets have more stopping power, and do more damage because they are larger and heavier.

You might be curious about the advantages of 380 ACP to the 22 LR if you are considering purchasing a self-defense gun. Both cartridges can be used centerfire but their bullet diameters are almost identical. The 22 LR bullet has a diameter of just 0.223 in, and the 380 bullet has a diameter of 0.355 in. However, there are a few key differences between the two cartridges that you should be aware of.

The main difference lies in the bullet weight. The bullet weight difference between the 40 S&W and 22 LR rounds is what makes them more powerful. The muzzles of the 380 ACP and 45 ACP bullets are slightly longer. This allows them to have more powder area and therefore more power. Despite being less powerful than the 40 S&W rounds, the 45 ACP bullets have a higher accuracy, but the recoil is not as evident as the 40 S&W.

How To

How do I teach my son to hunt?

This is a common problem. Many parents want their kids to learn how to shoot guns, but they do not know where to start. Safety should be your first concern when teaching your child to use a gun. You should make sure your child knows what to do in case of an accident. Also, make sure he is aware of the rules for shooting. You should instruct him to never touch the trigger while he fires. If he accidentally fires on himself, you should immediately stop playing and take him to the emergency room.

Next, teach him how to use different types of weapons. This can include rifles and shotguns, pistols, airguns, and airguns. So that your child can pick the right weapon for him, he should be able to understand how they work. Consider the weapon's size, weight, power, accuracy, and power when selecting a weapon. A.22 caliber rifle is a good choice for a starter rifle. It is compact enough to be held by beginners and strong enough to take out pests like squirrels. A 12-gauge shotgun, on other hand, is large enough to comfortably hold and has the power to kill any animal. Children who are learning to shoot can use airguns because they are quiet and simple to use.

Now, you can help your child practice shooting at targets. He should try out different positions and angles to see which works best for him. Make sure he is familiar with how to properly clean and maintain the weapon.

Once your child is proficient in the basics of hunting, you can teach them how to hunt. There are many ways to teach your child how to hunt. One option is to take your child out on the open field with you. Another option would be to purchase a gun from the store and show your kid how to load and unload. Another way to help your child train a dog is to get one. Dogs are easy to train and they can follow your commands quickly. Dogs can be fun to play with and can even become your child's best friend.

If none of these methods appeals to you, then you can hire someone to teach your child how. However, this is a costly option that requires lots of babysitting.
