380 vs 9mm ballistics test (Part 3)

Here I am testing the 380 as a self defense pocket pistol with various types of ammunition and comparing to the 9mm. Please excuse me for all the corrections in the annotations. It was 125 degrees out there in the sun so I was rushing a bit. Please rate and comment!

Thanks for this video series man, really helped me out in deciding whether I wanted a 9mm or .380. I think I'm going with the 9mm. Great video!

@DeeRugz4u I have never had a problem cycling 380 through a Browning hi-power. I do use fairly hot rounds though. If I was to only to pick one, I would choose a 9mm. It has some versatility because there are so many different types of rounds, and it's still fairly low recoil. If you can, it would be good to shoot a few different pistols in different calibers.

@TheWankerschnitzel So from all my research i feel like I wouldnt by a 380 unless it was a revolver. It looks like some 380 ammo isnt strong enough to push back slides Consistently. You agree?

[DeeRugz4u]

@TheWankerschnitzel Thats actually a pretty cool fact, thanks!

@DeeRugz4u I forgot to share: The 380 ACP is nothing other than a short 9mm (its German name, in fact, 9mm Kurtz, literally translates as 9mm Short),

@DeeRugz4u

More depends on the rounds you use, really. If all things were equal ie, ammo, barrel length etc, I would use a 9mm to kill things and 380 for punching holes in paper. That's just me though. Shoot some different guns, and see what works in your hand better. A well placed 380 will be more effective than a poorly applied .45acp.

Can someone give me the short, right to the point answer on the 9mm Vs the 380? Is the 380 a lot less powerfull, go less distance? anyone fill me in...i'm stuck inbetween a 380 or 9mm pocket pistol purchase.....thanks if you drop me line

Do flat nose ammo's usually expand? What's is their benefit over fmj? I'm looking for a good pocket gun(in Cali) got it down to lcp vs kahr 380..but I m not sure about the .380 round in general?? I hear 380 have a lot of failures too?? The 9mm is just enough larger to the point I m not sure if I would call it a pocket gun anymore? The 380 would be easier to carry and can handle +p ammo so it's ballistics cone closer to that of the 9mm?

[timmy101able]

Great vids...Does buffalo bore produce any +p hollow points? Is BB the only company to make +p .380 ammo?
