Wait, so .380 is quite literally all you need?
>>64757664It is all you need tofuck yamudda
correct, sadly retards (who make up the majority of "gun enthusiasts) are retards who are obsessed with le metric 9mm eurokek.
>>64757664WHYwhy is .380 in this weird magic bullet territory of being small but still being effective. Is it just wide enough and just fast enough to affect a target correctly rather than over penetrating and causing shock.
>>64757681John Moses Browning got everything right with .380 acp, .32 acp, .45 acp and .38 super
>>64757681It's not really any smaller than 9mm.
>>64757696.22 isn't really any smaller than .223
>>64757664For self defense in a handgun? Yes.For missile defense? It’s a bit lacking, but it can work.
>>64757769correct
>>64757769The bore is roughly the same size for both, but the .22lr cartridge is far smaller than .223. 9mm and .380 are identical in all aspects except for 2mm of case length, which mostly just serves to prevent accidentally chambering the hotter 9mm loads in a .380 handgun, most of which are straight blowback.
>>64757690>John Moses Browning got everything right with .380 acp, .32 acp, .45 acp and .38 superHe didn't make .38 Super. He made .38 ACP to be weak because he liked low-recoil rounds, and after he died, Colt upgraded .38 ACP to .38 Super so they could get an extra 200 fps.
>>64757664yep. always has been
