Can a 380 Stop an Assailant?

It's dramatic to see someone shoot with a firearm. But it's not dramatic in the real world. A gunshot can be used to disarm an attacker. The choice of bullet will have an impact on ballistics, which are the characteristics of the projectile's speed, penetration and expansion. The right bullet choice can help prevent further damage from an attacker.

380 is a batch-run round

The 380 is a batch-run round designed for pocket pistols. It is reliable and produces minimal recoil. You can also load it into a 9mm Luger Chamber. This cartridge was created by George Luger, in 1902. It's the most commonly used, most economical, and most commercially accessible. Some companies actually produce multiple bullets in this cartridge.

The 380 isn't a large batch-run round with lots of stopping power, unlike many of its rivals. It is still less effective than 9mm rounds, which are smaller than 380 ACP pistols. Hornady’s Critical Defense Round is one of our most loved self-defense rounds. It boasts a muzzle velocity in excess of 1,050 feet/second.

It's cheaper

A 380 conceal-carry caliber is extremely popular. Although it has less power than a 9.mm and less recoil, it is still very popular among concealed carry gun users. Due to the use of lower quantities of raw materials, 380 ammo has a lower production cost than the 9mm. Also, the 380 is not as popular as the 9mm, which means the price per round is cheaper.


While both calibers are excellent for defensive use, they have some major differences. The 9mm is the more powerful caliber, and it has a larger cartridge that can hold more powder. However, the 380 is much more maneuverable at close range. The 380 auto is smaller, lighter and easier to transport in close quarters. However, it can still stop an attack with ease. The only commonality is the diameter, which is why the 380 and 9mm are preferred by law enforcement agencies and militaries for self-defense.

It is easier to conceal

Many people prefer to carry a.380 calibre pistol as their everyday weapon of choice. Although smaller calibers are easier to conceal, larger caliber guns will still require larger guns. A 380 can be concealed more easily than a standard 9mm. A 380 is much more comfortable to carry and conceal, making it a better choice for EDC use.

A 380 ACP weighs less than 9mm and is therefore lighter. The PSI is lower due to the smaller size of its case. Because it has a smaller case, its PSI is lower. This makes it more concealable. 380s are more concealable than a 9mm. The 380s can also be cheaper than their larger counterparts. A 380 is likely to be a better choice if it is light and concealable.

It is far more fatal than 9mm

While there are some differences between the two calibers, in general the.380 is much more lethal, and 9mm is considerably faster and more powerful. While the 9mm produces more recoil than the.380, this does not necessarily make it less effective. 9mm rounds are approximately 112 to 147 grains in weight and travel at 1,000 to 1,100 feet per second, which means they offer more energy.

Because of the lower cost of.380 ammunition, you can visit the range more often. This results in greater accuracy and the possibility of making a kill shot in case of threat. The projectile in the 9mm can penetrate more than most self-defense rounds. It is therefore less lethal in these situations. The lower penetration also makes the 380 ACP less effective in law enforcement.
